Stencil Velu 3 is a regular weight, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Ultimatum MFV' by Comicraft, 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, and 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, monoline stencil design with squared skeletons softened by rounded corners. Strokes are consistently weighted and interrupted by clear, systematic bridges that create strong vertical rhythm and open internal counters. Curves are minimal and often built from straight segments, giving bowls and rounds a boxy, engineered feel. Spacing reads even in text, and the numerals follow the same cut-and-bridge logic for a cohesive, signage-like texture.
Well suited for posters, headlines, and short blocks of copy where a compact, industrial stencil look is desired. It also fits labels, packaging, and environmental or informational signage that benefits from a technical, marked-on-surface aesthetic.
The overall tone is industrial and no-nonsense, evoking labeling, equipment marking, and functional wayfinding. Its tight proportions and decisive stencil cuts lend an authoritative, technical voice with a subtle vintage/utility character rather than a decorative one.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact stencil voice that reads quickly and maintains a consistent mechanical rhythm across letters and numbers. The rounded corners temper the strict geometry, balancing rugged utility with controlled polish.
The stencil breaks are prominent enough to remain legible at display sizes while adding a distinctive pattern across lines of text. The condensed proportions pack information efficiently, and the rounded terminals help prevent the shapes from feeling overly harsh despite the rigid geometry.
