Stencil Efhi 1 is a regular weight, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Sans Atwic Modern' by Caron twice, 'Equip' by Hoftype, 'Acherus Militant' by Horizon Type, 'Mundial Narrow' by TipoType, and 'TT Norms Pro' by TypeType (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric stencil sans with monoline construction and softened, rounded terminals. Many glyphs are built from simple verticals, horizontals, and broad curves, interrupted by consistent stencil bridges that create clean, repeated gaps through bowls and stems. The rhythm is sturdy and legible at display sizes, with a slightly modular feel in diagonals (notably in forms like A, K, V, W, X) and a compact, workmanlike lowercase that echoes the uppercase structure. Numerals follow the same system, with clear breaks and rounded corners that keep the shapes friendly despite the engineered fragmentation.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a stencil cue is desirable and the internal breaks can be read as a feature. It also fits signage, packaging, labels, and product/industrial marking aesthetics, especially at medium to large sizes where the bridges stay crisp and intentional.
The overall tone feels industrial and functional, like signage cut from sheet material or markings intended to be sprayed, stamped, or routed. The rounded corners and even stroke weight temper the severity, giving it a contemporary, product-forward character rather than a purely harsh military look.
The design appears intended to translate the logic of physical stenciling into a clean, modern sans, balancing robust geometry with softened corners for broader stylistic versatility. The consistent bridging system suggests an emphasis on repeatable construction and a recognizable texture across letters and numbers.
Stencil interruptions are frequent and visually consistent, producing strong internal negative shapes (especially in C/G/O/Q and the figures) that become a defining texture in text. In longer settings, the repeated gaps create a patterned cadence that reads clearly but also signals “stencil” immediately.
