Stencil Veji 4 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'CF Blast Gothic' by Fonts.GR, 'Cairoli Now' by Italiantype, 'Alternate Gothic' and 'Neue Helvetica' by Linotype, and 'Alternate Gothic Pro' by SoftMaker (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, monoline display face built from tall, blocky forms with consistent vertical stress and squared terminals. Letterforms are constructed with clear stencil-style interruptions, creating small bridges and notches through stems, bowls, and crossbars. Curves are tight and geometric (notably in C, G, O, Q, and 0), while straight-sided characters keep a rigid, engineered rhythm. Counters are compact and the overall texture is dense, with simplified shapes and minimal modulation across the alphabet and figures.
Well-suited to display applications where a compact, high-impact stencil look is desired, such as posters, headlines, signage systems, packaging, product labels, and industrial-themed branding. It can also work for UI badges or section headers when set with extra spacing to keep the stencil gaps open.
The stencil breaks and compressed proportions evoke an industrial, equipment-label aesthetic with a utilitarian, no-nonsense tone. It reads as rugged and functional—suggesting cargo markings, military identifiers, or workshop signage—while still feeling intentionally designed rather than distressed.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-visibility stencil voice: strong vertical rhythm, simplified construction, and repeatable break patterns that mimic cut lettering for marking and identification. The goal seems to be a practical, engineered feel that remains consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The stencil joins are consistently placed and sized, producing a uniform pattern of interruptions that becomes a defining texture in text. The narrow set width and tall proportions make word shapes highly vertical; readability improves with generous tracking and at larger sizes where the internal gaps remain distinct.
