Stencil Geta 4 is a regular weight, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Peridot Devanagari', 'Peridot Latin', and 'Peridot PE' by Foundry5; 'Cerebri Sans' by Hanken Design Co.; 'Recht' by Mint Type; and '2030' by Noir Typo (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric, monoline sans with consistent stroke thickness and crisp, square-cut terminals. The defining feature is a systematic set of vertical stencil breaks that slice through many bowls and counters, creating clear bridges in letters like O, C, G, Q, and e while keeping the overall silhouettes stable. Proportions read on the broader side, with generous apertures and round forms that stay compact and controlled; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are clean and sharply joined. Numerals follow the same logic, including a distinctive segmented 8 and open, straightforward shapes elsewhere, producing a cohesive, engineered rhythm across the set.
Works best at display sizes where the stencil bridges become a graphic asset—headlines, posters, branding marks, and product/packaging typography. It also suits wayfinding and technical or industrial-themed graphics where a fabricated, signage-forward voice is desirable.
The repeated, mechanical breaks lend a fabricated, cut-from-sheet-metal feel that reads as industrial and technical. The look is modern and slightly futuristic, with a strong signage character—assertive, precise, and purpose-built rather than expressive or handwritten.
The design appears intended to merge a straightforward geometric sans foundation with a distinctive stencil system, producing a contemporary display face that remains readable while delivering an immediately recognizable, engineered identity.
The vertical interruption motif is applied consistently enough to feel like a system, not distress, and it creates a recognizable texture in running text without heavily reducing legibility. Curved letters retain smooth arcs despite the cuts, keeping the tone clean and controlled rather than rugged.
