Stencil Geka 14 is a bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Aspira' by Durotype, 'Trade Gothic Next' and 'Trade Gothic Next Soft Rounded' by Linotype, 'Expressway' by Typodermic, and 'Artico' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, all-caps-forward sans with a strong stencil construction: most strokes are interrupted by consistent vertical breaks that read as purposeful bridges rather than distressed texture. The letterforms are largely geometric with straight-sided verticals, firm terminals, and rounded counters where needed (C, O, Q), creating a tight, rhythmic texture in lines of text. Curves are clean and controlled, and the overall stroke weight is steady, giving the design a precise, machined feel. Numerals and punctuation follow the same cut-and-bridge logic, keeping the pattern of breaks consistent across the set.
Best suited to display settings where the stencil pattern can read clearly, such as posters, headlines, packaging, wayfinding, and product labels. It also works well for short UI or branding phrases when an industrial or technical voice is desired, but the strong internal breaks may be less suitable for long-form small-size text.
The repeated stencil gaps give the face an industrial, equipment-marking tone that feels functional and authoritative. Its compact proportions and sharp, disciplined shapes evoke signage, labeling, and utilitarian print where immediacy and impact are prioritized.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, compact typographic voice with unmistakable stencil identity, balancing strict geometry with consistent bridging so it can signal durability and function while staying visually coherent in words and numbers.
The stencil breaks are especially prominent in rounded forms (O, Q, 8, 9), producing a distinctive split-counter look that remains legible at display sizes. Lowercase forms echo the caps with simplified, sturdy shapes, helping mixed-case text maintain the same engineered character rather than turning conversational or calligraphic.
