Stencil Geba 3 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Futura EF' by Elsner+Flake, 'Futura' and 'Futura Paneuropean' by Linotype, 'Futura Now' by Monotype, 'Futura ND' by Neufville Digital, 'Futura PT' by ParaType, 'Architype Renner' by The Foundry, and 'Futura Round' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric display stencil with heavy, monoline strokes and sharply cut terminals. Counters are opened with consistent vertical stencil breaks, giving rounded forms (C, O, Q, e) a segmented, engineered look while keeping the overall silhouette stable. Uppercase characters are broad and architectural with simplified bowls and minimal modulation; diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y are crisp and steep, and the M has prominent pointed interior joins. Lowercase follows the same cutout logic with compact bowls and sturdy stems, producing a blocky, poster-like rhythm that holds together across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where a stenciled, industrial voice is desirable: posters, headlines, branding marks, product packaging, and wayfinding or label-style signage. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or titling where the segmented forms become a deliberate graphic texture.
The repeated bridges and hard-edged geometry create a utilitarian, fabricated tone—suggesting labels, machinery markings, and stenciled signage. Its assertive shapes and high visual mass also read as cinematic and covert, lending a slightly noir or tactical feel when set in words.
The design appears intended to translate classic stencil construction into a clean, geometric display voice, prioritizing strong silhouettes and consistent bridge logic. The goal seems to be immediate impact and a recognizable cutout motif that remains legible at typical headline sizes.
Stencil gaps are generally placed on verticals and near midlines, which keeps most glyphs recognizable but gives circular letters a distinctive "spliced" center. The numerals mirror the same system, with 0 and 8 notably bisected and several digits using clipped curves for a rugged, manufactured character.
