Stencil Imli 6 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Arpona Sans' by Floodfonts, 'Foro Sans' and 'Qubo' by Hoftype, 'Fact' by ParaType, and 'Core Sans N SC' by S-Core (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, right-slanted display face built from chunky, rounded forms and broad strokes. The letters lean consistently and carry a slightly irregular, hand-cut rhythm, with wedge-like terminals and soft corners that keep the shapes friendly despite their mass. Clear stencil bridges slice through bowls and counters (notably in O/Q and several numerals), producing bold cutouts and a strong black–white pattern. Spacing and widths vary across glyphs, giving the texture a dynamic, less mechanical cadence while remaining visually cohesive.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, event graphics, packaging fronts, and bold signage. It can also work for logos and wordmarks where the stencil construction is part of the brand story, but it is less appropriate for long body text due to the heavy weight and prominent internal breaks.
The overall tone feels industrial and punchy, like painted signage or cut-out lettering, but with a quirky, upbeat attitude. The stencil breaks add a utilitarian, workshop flavor, while the rounded geometry and slant introduce motion and a hint of retro showmanship.
The design appears intended to merge classic stencil construction with an expressive, slanted display stance—delivering a rugged, paint-stencil impression while staying approachable through rounded, chunky forms and a lively, varied rhythm.
The stencil gaps are treated as prominent design features rather than subtle interruptions, so counters can appear tightly segmented at smaller sizes. The italic slant and thick joins create strong diagonals and a lively word shape that reads best when given room to breathe.
