Stencil Efhi 3 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Acumin' by Adobe and 'Nimbus Sans L' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric display face built from rounded-rectangle strokes with consistent weight and smooth terminals. Forms are constructed with clear stencil breaks placed at predictable points—often at the top, bottom, or inner counters—creating strong vertical segmentation in letters like C, O, Q, and S, and separated bars in E and F. The overall silhouette is compact and sturdy, with generous apertures where breaks occur and largely closed counters elsewhere, producing a punchy, high-ink look at larger sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same modular construction, and diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y, Z) are simplified into bold, clean cuts that keep the rhythm even across the set.
Best suited to display settings where the stencil breaks read clearly: posters, headlines, packaging, product labels, wayfinding, and industrial-themed graphics. It can also work for short UI or badge-style text when large enough to keep the interior breaks from visually filling in.
The design communicates an industrial, equipment-label tone with a disciplined, utilitarian rhythm. Its stencil logic and rounded geometry evoke painted signage, crate marking, and military/engineering contexts, while still feeling friendly enough for contemporary branding when used sparingly. The overall impression is confident and mechanical rather than delicate or literary.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold stencil look optimized for impact and clarity, using consistent stroke weight and rounded geometry to maintain a cohesive, modular system. The deliberate break placement suggests an intention to mimic practical stenciling while keeping letterforms modern, legible, and brand-ready in display use.
Stencil bridges are thick and visually prominent, so internal gaps become part of the letter identity rather than a subtle texture. The rounded corners soften what would otherwise be a strict, machined aesthetic, helping the face feel modern and approachable despite its rugged construction.
