Stencil in Use: A Collection of Stencil Typefaces in Bloomington, MN

Known for their bold impressions characterized by strategic bars and openings, stencil fonts are more than just fonts seen on spray-painted shipping crates, military-inspired paraphernalia or street art. Instead, they are an expressive type family that emphasize spacing, size, and arrangement to create impactful and dynamic text elements, often with a focus on geometric precision to convey a sense of strength and contemporaneity.
A continuation of the
Sans/Sans Serif in Use
collection, this edition features a curated selection of stencil type specimens, their design applications, and the thoughts that go behind the craft.
Stencil in Use
