Stencil Fiso 2 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Afical' by Formatype Foundry, 'Helvetica Now' by Monotype, 'NeoGram' by The Northern Block, and 'Clobber Grotesk' by Wordshape (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with monoline construction and pronounced stencil breaks throughout the alphabet and numerals. Forms are built from broad verticals and clean circular/rectilinear geometry, with open counters and consistent, straight-sided terminals. The stencil bridges are wide and deliberate, creating repeated vertical gaps in bowls and rounded characters and adding a rhythmic, segmented texture in text. Lowercase follows the same constructed logic, with compact, sturdy shapes and minimal modulation.
This face suits high-impact display work where the stencil motif can be a key visual feature, such as posters, headlines, titles, and branding. It also fits signage and packaging that aim for an industrial or technical voice, especially when set at medium to large sizes where the breaks read crisply and intentionally.
The overall tone feels industrial and engineered, like lettering intended for equipment, wayfinding, or manufactured objects. The repeated breaks add a coded, mechanized character that reads as functional and no-nonsense while still feeling distinctly stylized.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, contemporary stencil aesthetic with strong geometric clarity and a repeatable system of bridges. It prioritizes impact and a manufactured, utilitarian feel, turning functional stencil logic into a graphic signature.
The stencil interruptions are frequent and strongly integrated into the design, so they remain highly visible even at larger text sizes. Numerals mirror the same segmented approach, reinforcing a consistent system across letters and figures.
