Stencil fonts are characterized by their distinct cut-out designs, which allow for easy
application in various contexts, such as signage and artistic projects.
These fonts
typically feature gaps or "bridges" in letters to ensure that they can be easily cut out
without losing structural integrity.
History and Development
The first stencil typefaces were released in 1937, notably designed by Gerry Powell
for American Type Founders.
These fonts were created to mimic the appearance of
bold, cut-out letters, making them ideal for attention-grabbing applications.

Stencil fonts offer a unique blend of functionality and style, making them a valuable
asset in both professional and personal design projects. With a variety of options
available across multiple platforms, designers can easily find the perfect stencil font
to meet their needs.
