Stencil Efry 2 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Guzzo' by Monotype, 'Aaux Next Cond' by Positype, and 'Lyu Lin' by Stefan Stoychev (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, blocky sans with a clear stencil construction: strokes are interrupted by consistent bridges that create open counters and segmented bowls. Forms are largely geometric with softened, rounded corners and blunt terminals, giving the letters a solid, cut-out feel. The rhythm is sturdy and compact, with simplified curves in C/G/O/Q and strongly verticalized structure across most glyphs; diagonals (V/W/X/Y/Z) are thick and angular. Numerals follow the same cut-and-bridge logic, maintaining a uniform, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display applications where the stencil character is meant to be seen: posters, headlines, branding accents, packaging, and bold signage. It works particularly well for labels, badges, and industrial-themed graphics where a tough, fabricated look is desirable.
The overall tone is industrial and utilitarian, evoking equipment labeling, stenciled markings, and functional signage. Its mass and interruptions add a rugged, tactical character that reads as mechanical rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch while retaining a practical stencil logic, pairing simplified geometric letterforms with deliberate bridges for a marked, manufactured presence. It prioritizes a strong silhouette and consistent cutouts to create a recognizable, utilitarian texture.
Stencil breaks are prominent and frequent, producing distinctive internal negative shapes that become part of the texture at display sizes. Apertures and counters are intentionally interrupted, which can reduce clarity at smaller sizes but strengthens the cut-out aesthetic in headlines and short bursts of text.
