No need to explain. This is the best stencil script.
Stencil Board JNL is another typeface modeled from lettering made by a Diagraph stencil cutting machine. Diagraph was first to make stencil punch machines which are used both industrially and by the military.
Thanks to Neil Haynes for the samples he provided from the company’s machine testing department.
Stencil was designed by Gerry Powell and appeared with American Type Founders in 1938. It is a faithful imitation of a stencilled slab serif alphabet. The alphabet is composed of only capital letters and Stencil’s characters are probably best known and recognized as those often found on crates and boxes.
The Vtg Stencil fonts from astype are based on real world stencils. The US No. 4 design was derived from a typical antique American stencil-plate. This revolving stencil-plate was invented by Eugene L.
Tarbox and patented in 1868. It was a mass produced product and a very common tool in the United States.
In case of US No. 4 an original early plate from New York Stencil Works was used.
The Regular font style is a clean font design featuring a full standard Type1 glyph set including some typical stencil ornaments and tabular figures. The Paint font style is made from true stenciled letters and features all the letters of the stencil-plate only.
