Stencil Upba 7 is a regular weight, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hamlin Nova' by Designova and 'Acherus Feral', 'Acherus Grotesque', and 'Acherus Militant' by Horizon Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric, monoline sans with deliberate stencil breaks that segment bowls and stems into crisp, repeatable parts. Circular forms (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) are built from near-perfect arcs with small vertical bridges, while straight-sided letters use firm, squared terminals and occasional diagonal cuts. The overall rhythm is clean and modular, with open counters and consistent stroke weight; diagonals (V, W, X, K) feel sharp and engineered rather than calligraphic. Numerals mirror the same segmented logic, producing strong, sign-like silhouettes.
Best suited to display contexts where the stencil structure can be appreciated: posters, titles, branding marks, and packaging systems. It also works well for signage, wayfinding, and product labeling where a technical, fabricated look is desirable, especially at medium to large sizes.
The repeated breaks and precise geometry give the face an industrial, technical tone with a subtle sci‑fi edge. It reads as purposeful and systematized—more like labeling and equipment typography than conversational text—while still maintaining a polished, contemporary feel.
Likely designed to merge a clean geometric sans skeleton with functional stencil logic, creating a modular, production-minded aesthetic that remains legible while feeling industrial and contemporary.
The stencil joins are visually prominent in round letters and the most noticeable at larger sizes, where the engineered cut points become part of the identity. In longer text, the segmented strokes create a distinctive texture and a slightly mechanical cadence.
