Stencil Sopo 4 is a very bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Nusara' by Locomotype, 'Burlingame' by Monotype, 'Core Gothic M' by S-Core, and 'Geon' and 'Geon Soft' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-based sans with geometric construction and crisp, angular terminals. Letterforms are built from broad verticals and squared curves, interrupted by consistent stencil bridges that create narrow internal gaps and sliced counters. Curves in C, G, O, and S remain largely circular but are segmented to preserve a rugged, cut-through rhythm, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) stay wide and forceful. The overall texture is dense and high-ink, with a deliberate, engineered feel created by the repeated vertical cut lines and broken bowls.
Best suited to large sizes where the stencil bridges and internal segmentation become a graphic feature—posters, titles, branding accents, packaging, and bold labels. It also fits wayfinding and industrial-themed signage where a marked, utilitarian voice is desired.
The stencil breaks and solid massing give the typeface a no-nonsense, industrial tone with hints of military marking and factory labeling. It reads as tough, practical, and attention-grabbing, projecting durability rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to translate classic stencil utility into a contemporary, blocky display voice, balancing strong legibility with a distinctive cut-and-bridged texture for branding and dramatic typographic statements.
The stencil logic is applied across both uppercase and lowercase, producing a distinctive striped interruption that becomes a key identifying motif in text. Numerals follow the same segmented approach, keeping the set visually unified for signage-like compositions.
