Stencil Upso 2 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, 'Goldana' by Seventh Imperium, 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, 'Cheapsman' by Typetemp Studio, and 'Burpee' by Yock Mercado (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, monoline display face built from straight segments and clipped corners, creating an octagonal, engineered silhouette throughout. Stencil breaks appear consistently on verticals and joins, producing clear bridges and a segmented rhythm without introducing contrast. Curves are largely replaced by chamfered turns, yielding squared counters and compact apertures; the overall fit is tight with strong vertical emphasis. Numerals and capitals follow the same modular construction, with simplified, geometric forms that read like cut metal or painted markings.
Best suited to display settings where impact and a utilitarian voice are desired: posters, headlines, product packaging, warning-style signage, and short labels. It performs especially well at medium to large sizes where the stencil breaks and chamfered details remain distinct.
The font conveys an industrial, directive tone—functional, tough, and no-nonsense. Its stencil construction and hard angles evoke equipment labeling, military markings, and engineered signage, giving text a disciplined, mechanical presence.
The design appears intended to merge a compact, space-efficient build with a rugged stencil aesthetic, prioritizing a strong, industrial tone and consistent modular construction across letters and numbers.
The repeated chamfers and uniform stroke width make the design feel highly systematic, while the stencil gaps add texture and help prevent large dark masses in dense settings. The condensed proportions amplify verticality, making words appear tall and compact, especially in all-caps lines.
