Stencil Fifi 3 is a bold, wide, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATC Arquette' by Avondale Type Co., 'Luxe Uno' by Designova, 'Urania' by Hoftype, 'Remoto' by JAM Type Design, 'Axiforma' by Monotype, 'Goga' by Narrow Type, 'Bassen' by SRS Type, and 'Soin Sans Pro' by Stawix (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric stencil with mostly monoline construction and abrupt, squared terminals. Counters are simplified and often circular, with consistent vertical breaks that form clear stencil bridges through bowls and rounds (notably in C, G, O, Q, S and the numerals). The overall rhythm is compact and chunky, with minimal curvature and a strong emphasis on straight strokes, diagonals, and modular shapes; lowercase forms follow the same reduced, engineered logic.
Best suited to display settings where the stencil texture can read clearly—posters, bold headlines, wayfinding-style signage, packaging, and product or crate-style labeling. It can also work for logos and event graphics that want an industrial, manufactured aesthetic, while long text blocks may feel visually busy due to the frequent breaks.
The font projects a pragmatic, no-nonsense tone associated with labeling, equipment marking, and engineered systems. Its repeated bridge cuts and blocky silhouettes feel mechanical and disciplined, evoking industrial signage and military-style identification.
The design appears intended to mimic practical stencil lettering used for marking objects, while keeping letterforms clean, geometric, and highly uniform. Its consistent bridge placement and simplified counters prioritize bold impact and an engineered, reproducible look over traditional text readability.
The stencil gaps are prominent and become a defining texture at display sizes, creating a distinctive pattern across words. Round characters lean toward near-perfect circles with vertical notches, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y, Z) are sharp and assertive, reinforcing a technical, fabricated feel.
