Stencil Ispu 3 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Double Dagger' by Dharma Type, 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, 'Foundry Fabriek' by The Foundry, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with geometric proportions and squared counters, punctuated by consistent stencil breaks that create clear internal bridges in rounded letters and numerals. Strokes are uniform and emphatic, with crisp terminals and minimal curvature, producing a compact, engineered silhouette. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s rigid construction, with single-storey forms and simplified joins that keep the texture dense and strongly patterned in lines of text.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and identity moments where an industrial or tactical voice is desired. It performs well for signage, packaging, labels, and on-product marking where the stencil logic feels authentic and the strong silhouettes hold up at distance.
The overall tone is functional and hard-edged, evoking equipment labeling, shipping marks, and industrial signage. Its repeated gaps and bridges add a rugged, fabricated feel—more utilitarian than decorative—while still reading as intentionally designed and systematic.
The design appears intended to deliver a rugged stencil aesthetic with high-impact readability, using systematic bridges and simplified geometry to suggest durability, fabrication, and utilitarian messaging.
The stencil interruptions are placed consistently across the set (notably in C, G, O/Q, S, and several numerals), which strengthens rhythm and makes the design feel modular. In longer passages the dark color and frequent breaks create a distinctive, segmented texture that favors short, impactful settings over quiet body copy.
