Stencil Fiso 9 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Matt' by Fontfabric, 'FS Hackney' by Fontsmith, 'Belle Sans' by Park Street Studio, 'Sans Beam' by Stawix, and 'Allumi Std' by Typofonderie (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with pronounced stencil breaks that create consistent bridges through verticals, bowls, and crossbars. Letterforms are built from broad, mostly straight segments with occasional large-radius curves, producing a modular, machined rhythm. Counters are generally open and simplified, terminals are blunt, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y/Z) read sharp and engineered. The figures follow the same cut-and-bridge logic, maintaining a cohesive, high-impact texture across text lines.
Best suited to short, high-visibility settings such as headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where the stencil structure can be appreciated. It also fits wayfinding, product markings, and industrial-themed graphics, especially when a strong, fabricated look is desired.
The overall tone feels industrial and tool-like, suggesting signage, equipment labeling, and engineered surfaces. The stencil interruptions add a tactical, fabricated character while keeping the voice modern and graphic rather than ornamental.
Designed to deliver a bold, engineered stencil aesthetic with clear, repeatable bridge shapes and a modular construction. The intent appears to balance recognizability with a distinctive cut-out pattern that reads as manufactured and graphic in contemporary layout.
The stencil cuts are used as a defining motif rather than subtle detailing, appearing frequently enough to become part of the font’s pattern at display sizes. Round letters like O/Q/C/G emphasize the contrast between smooth outer geometry and decisive internal breaks, reinforcing a constructed, template-based feel.
