Stencil Figy 5 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Steradian' by Emtype Foundry, 'Candid' by Lucas Tillian, 'Goga' by Narrow Type, 'Lyu Lin' by Stefan Stoychev, 'TT Commons™️ Pro' by TypeType, and 'Segment' by Typekiln (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with large, uniform stroke thickness and crisp, squared terminals. The defining feature is a consistent set of horizontal stencil breaks that slice through many characters at mid-height, creating clear bridges and strong negative-space bands. Bowls tend toward near-circular forms (notably in C, G, O, Q, and numerals), while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are sharp and clean, reinforcing a machined, constructed feel. Lowercase forms are simplified and sturdy, with single-storey shapes and compact apertures that keep the texture dense and graphic.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where the stencil rhythm can be appreciated—posters, headlines, logos, and bold branding lockups. It also works well for signage, wayfinding, and packaging where an industrial or technical tone is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The repeated midline breaks and solid silhouettes give the face an industrial, equipment-label energy—confident, functional, and slightly militaristic. It reads as engineered rather than calligraphic, with a modern, graphic punch that feels at home on objects, signage, and systems.
Designed to deliver a robust, modern stencil voice with consistent midline bridges, balancing geometric construction with high visual impact. The aim appears to be strong recognition and a cohesive industrial texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The stencil interruptions are applied with a strong visual rhythm, producing distinctive letterforms even at a glance, but also introducing intentional fragmentation that can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The overall color on the page is very dark and even, with the breaks providing the primary internal contrast.
