Stencil fonts have gaps, or bridges, in the strokes so that a cut-out sheet holds together. That single feature gives them an industrial, military or urban feel. They suit transport branding, outdoor gear and bold poster headlines. Thin bridges can fill in when printed small, so test at your real size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can stencil fonts be used for real stencils?

Yes, that is what the bridges are for. Check that the gaps are wide enough for your cutter and material, and enlarge the type if the islands become too fragile.

Are the fonts on this site free?

All fonts can be downloaded at no cost and without an account. What you may do with each font depends on its license, which is shown on the font's page.

Can I use these fonts commercially?

Only if the font's license allows it. Filter by Free for commercial use to see fonts whose licenses we have verified, and read the license details before using a font in paid work.
