Stencil Fibi 1 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Harmonia Sans' by Monotype, 'Pulp Display' by Spilled Ink, 'Sailec' by Type Dynamic, and 'Segment' by Typekiln (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, hard-edged display face built from simple geometric forms with consistent stroke weight and pronounced stencil breaks. Counters and bowls are often opened by vertical or horizontal gaps that create clear bridges, producing strong negative shapes (notably in C, G, O, Q, S, and several numerals). Terminals are mostly flat and squared, curves are constructed with broad, clean arcs, and diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are chunky and stable. Lowercase mixes compact, single-storey constructions with similarly broken bowls, keeping the rhythm tight and the silhouettes bold and graphic.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where the stencil texture can read clearly, such as posters, headlines, signage, wayfinding, packaging, and product labels. It also works well for short UI or environmental text that benefits from a tough, industrial voice, while extended small-size copy may lose clarity as the bridges dominate the letterforms.
The font projects an industrial, no-nonsense tone with a fabricated, cut-out feel, like markings made with stencils on equipment or packaging. Its repeated bridges and open counters add a technical, tactical character that reads as rugged and purposeful rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, repeatable stencil system with consistent bridges and sturdy geometry, prioritizing impact and a manufactured look. Its forms balance legibility with a distinctive cut-out pattern so that words carry both information and an industrial graphic texture.
The stencil interruptions are fairly uniform across the set, creating a cohesive pattern language that becomes a defining texture in words and lines. Numerals follow the same cut-out logic, with strong, recognizable shapes and conspicuous internal breaks that emphasize the font’s graphic identity.
