Stencil Figo 8 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Izmir' by Ahmet Altun, 'Eina' by Extratype, 'Goga' by Narrow Type, 'TT Commons Classic' and 'TT Commons™️ Pro' by TypeType, and 'Segment' by Typekiln (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, monoline sans with geometric construction and squared terminals, designed around bold strokes and compact counters. The defining feature is consistent stencil-like interruption: many glyphs are bisected by a horizontal gap that creates clear bridges and segmented bowls, producing a strong banded rhythm across words. Curves are broad and clean (notably in C/O/G/Q forms), while diagonals in A/V/W/X/Y/Z are sharp and stable, keeping the overall texture dense and uniform. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy with minimal modulation, and numerals follow the same split-stroke logic for a cohesive, engineered look.
Well-suited to posters, headlines, and brand marks that benefit from a strong, industrial voice. It can work effectively for signage, labels, and packaging where a fabricated or technical aesthetic is desired, especially when the horizontal stencil breaks are used as a deliberate graphic signature.
The repeated midline breaks give the face a fabricated, cut-out character that reads as industrial and technical. It carries a modernist, system-signage tone with a slightly sci‑fi edge, projecting strength, precision, and functionality rather than warmth or delicacy.
The design appears intended to fuse a straightforward geometric sans with systematic stencil breaks, producing letters that feel manufactured and repeatable. Its goal is likely to deliver immediate impact and a distinctive, engineered identity while maintaining consistent, readable silhouettes at display scale.
The stencil breaks are highly regular in placement and thickness, creating a distinctive horizontal emphasis that can become a graphic motif in headlines. The bold weight and tight interior spaces suggest it will feel most confident at display sizes where the interruptions remain clearly legible.
