Stencil Elly 2 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Acherus Feral', 'Acherus Grotesque', and 'Acherus Militant' by Horizon Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with monoline construction and crisp, mostly squared terminals. The forms are built from broad, straight strokes with occasional rounded bowls, and consistent stencil breaks that create clear bridges through counters and along major strokes. Proportions skew broad with generous width in many letters, while spacing and apertures remain open enough to keep shapes recognizable. Numerals and capitals share the same cut-out logic, producing a cohesive, engineered rhythm across the set.
Best suited to large-scale settings where the stencil texture can be appreciated: posters, display headlines, brand marks, packaging, and signage/wayfinding systems. It can also work for short UI labels or section headers when a strong industrial accent is desired, but the distinctive breaks are most effective at medium to large sizes.
The stencil interruptions and dense silhouettes give the face a rugged, industrial tone with a technical, fabricated feel. It reads as purposeful and utilitarian, evoking labeling, equipment markings, and modern wayfinding rather than literary or delicate contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, manufactured stencil look with strong legibility and a consistent system of bridges across the alphabet and numerals. Its geometry and uniform stroke weight suggest a focus on impact, repeatability, and a graphic surface texture that holds up in bold applications.
Stencil joins are prominent in rounded glyphs (like O/Q and 0/8/9), where the bridges become a central visual motif. Diagonals and junctions (such as in K, M, N, V, W, X) stay sharp and angular, reinforcing a machined, modular character. In longer text, the repeated breaks add texture and pattern, so overall color becomes a key part of its identity.
