Stencil Gefy 12 is a regular weight, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Duplet Open' by Indian Type Foundry, 'Madani' and 'Madani Arabic' by NamelaType, 'Glence' by Nine Font, and 'Santral' by Taner Ardali (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans with consistent stroke weight and crisp, straight terminals, built from clean circles and verticals. Stencil breaks are used systematically across curves and stems, producing clear bridges and open gaps that stay aligned from glyph to glyph. Counters are generous and shapes are largely round-based (notably in C, G, O, Q, and numerals), while diagonals in K, V, W, X, Y, and Z keep a sharp, engineered feel. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with simple single-storey a and g, a narrow r, and a clean, flat-topped t, maintaining an even rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where the stencil detailing can be appreciated, such as posters, branding, packaging, and wayfinding or product labels. It also works well for tech-leaning graphics and display settings that benefit from a fabricated, cut-out look.
The repeated stencil interruptions give the font an industrial, fabricated character—like cut vinyl, laser-cut signage, or sprayed marking templates. Its precise geometry reads contemporary and technical, balancing friendliness from the round forms with a disciplined, utilitarian tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a clean geometric sans while clearly communicating stencil construction, keeping letterforms legible and rhythmically consistent. Its systematic bridges suggest a focus on practical marking aesthetics—template-like readability with a contemporary, engineered finish.
The stencil logic is especially prominent in round letters and figures, where the breaks create a distinctive “segmented” ring effect. Numerals follow the same system, with 0 and 8 strongly emphasizing the bridged construction, supporting consistent texture between text and figures.
