Stencil Abji 3 is a light, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Linear Grotesk' by Designova, 'Neue Helvetica eText' by Linotype, 'Europa Grotesk No. 2 SB' and 'Europa Grotesk No. 2 SH' by Scangraphic Digital Type Collection, 'Arbeit' by Studio Few, and 'Nimbus Sans Arabic' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric, monoline sans with consistent stroke weight and deliberate breaks that create clear stencil bridges throughout both caps and lowercase. Round letters are built from near-circular bowls with small, evenly sized gaps, while straight strokes stay crisp and vertical with squared terminals. Curves are smooth and fairly open, counters read cleanly, and the overall rhythm feels measured and modular. Numerals follow the same segmented logic, with open joins and breaks that keep the figures airy while retaining strong silhouettes.
Best suited to display sizes where the stencil detailing can be appreciated: posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and product or event branding. It also works well for wayfinding, labels, and technical or industrial-themed graphics where a clean, engineered stencil voice reinforces the message.
The controlled gaps and circular geometry give the font an industrial, engineered tone—practical and slightly futuristic. It reads like labeling and equipment typography, conveying precision, utility, and a contemporary, system-built feel rather than warmth or expressiveness.
The design appears intended to merge a clean geometric sans foundation with unmistakable stencil construction, producing a contemporary face that stays legible while adding a purposeful, fabricated texture. The consistent bridge placement suggests an aim for systematic repeatability and strong, recognizable word shapes in short to medium display text.
The stencil breaks are integrated as part of the design language rather than purely functional cuts, appearing repeatedly at predictable points on bowls and joints. This creates a distinctive texture in text settings, especially in words with many rounded letters, where the repeated interruptions form a consistent dotted rhythm.
