Stencil Fibi 3 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Area' by Blaze Type, 'FF Infra' by FontFont, 'CF Asty' by Fonts.GR, 'Anthro' by Studio Few, and 'Mundial Narrow' by TipoType (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with consistent stroke weight and clean, engineered curves. The defining feature is its systematic breakpoints: many letters and figures are interrupted by narrow vertical or horizontal gaps that read as deliberate bridges, producing a modular, stencil-cut construction. Counters tend toward circular or near-circular forms (notably in C/O/Q and several numerals), while terminals are sharp and flat, giving a crisp, machined finish. Spacing and proportions feel compact and steady, with simple, straightforward lowercase shapes and minimal calligraphic influence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where the stencil construction can be a central visual cue. It can also work for branding in industrial, technical, or streetwear contexts, and for short UI labels where a rugged, engineered voice is desired. For longer passages, the persistent breaks become a strong texture, so it typically performs better in short blocks than in extended reading.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, evoking labeling, fabrication, and equipment markings. The repeated cut-ins add a technical, engineered personality that feels contemporary and slightly militaristic without becoming decorative. Its weight and hard edges project confidence and visibility, especially at display sizes.
The design appears intended to translate stencil-cut and marking templates into a bold geometric sans, maintaining high impact while preserving clear internal bridges. Its consistent, modular cut strategy suggests a focus on reproducible shapes and strong recognizability across letters and numerals in practical labeling contexts.
The stencil breaks are applied consistently across the character set and remain visually prominent in running text, creating a rhythmic pattern of interruptions. Rounded forms retain strong presence despite the cuts, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are kept sharp and stable, supporting an overall “built” look.
