Stencil In Use in use is an examination of the stencil font that extends the series of typeface collections Victionary launched with their Sans/Sans Serif In Use collections.
Known for their bold impressions characterised by strategic slits and openings, stencil fonts are more than just fonts seen on spray-painted shipping crates or military-inspired paraphernalia. Instead, they are an expressive type that emphasise spacing, size, and arrangement to create impactful and dynamic text elements, often with a focus on geometric precision to allude to a sense of strength and contemporaneity.
As before, this mammoth edition features a curated selection of stencil type specimens, their design applications, and the thoughts that go behind the craft. Stencil In Use collates the best typefaces for big canvases and serves as a reference point for inspiration-seeking designers and typographers alike.
