Stencil Isgu 2 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Innova' by Durotype, 'FF Infra' by FontFont, 'Neue Haas Grotesk Text' by Linotype, and 'Eloquia' by Typekiln (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with a segmented stencil construction throughout. Strokes are uniform and dense, with crisp terminals and frequent vertical breaks that create clear bridges in bowls, counters, and stems. Forms lean toward squared proportions with broad curves kept taut and simplified, producing a compact, punchy rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same cut-and-bridge logic, maintaining consistent weight and strong silhouette clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, bold headlines, product or event branding, and signage where the stencil character can read clearly. It also works well for packaging, labels, and wayfinding-inspired graphics that benefit from a rugged, fabricated feel.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, with a mechanical precision that reads as firm and no-nonsense. The repeated internal breaks add a tactical, engineered flavor—more equipment label than editorial voice—giving text an assertive, directive presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a functional stencil voice, balancing simple geometric letterforms with consistent bridges for a manufactured, cut-out aesthetic. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a distinctive broken-stroke texture that signals industrial or tactical themes.
Because the bridges often fall along the vertical axis, many letters take on a distinctive split-center look that becomes a strong texture in running lines. The density and stencil interruptions make it most legible when given generous size and spacing, where the cut details remain intentional rather than noisy.
