Open-loop stencil calligraphy with bridges cut through the joins
Afraty Stencil
Afraty Stencil is calligraphic script with stencil bridges cut through the joins, so the word keeps a flowing line while every letter stays attached to its neighbours as a cut mask.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Afraty Stencil.
The capital A opens with a broad looped stroke that crosses its own stem, the f rises into a loop, the r holds a short arm, the a closes a small bowl and the y drops a long tail, all at a medium weight with a moderate contrast. The bridges are the character: short gaps interrupt the joins at a consistent angle, which is what lets the face be cut in mylar while the line still reads as written. Because the gaps are small, the face needs 26 pt minimum on print and a cutter that can hold the detail. The soft gradient ground, the black ink, the two caption lines are presentation; the script is the two words.

Stencil for a market crate or box
The bridges are drawn for a blade, and the flowing line still reads when the mask is sprayed at 60 mm onto a wooden crate.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Cut a 300 by 120 mm mylar stencil: set the name at 60 mm, keep every bridge at 4 mm minimum, and leave 8 mm of mask around each letter so the spray does not creep beneath the edge.
Pre-production check
A bridge under 3 mm tears when the mask lifts; check the cut file at full size and widen the bridge rather than thinning the stroke.
Sign for a bakery or deli counter
The stencil construction gives a printed sign the look of a crate mark, and the calligraphic line keeps it warmer than a plain stencil face at 24 mm.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 400 by 250 mm panel: set the shop name at 24 mm, set the items in a 9 mm sans beneath, and keep 25 mm of border so the bridges stay visible against the panel edge.
Pre-production check
A stencil pattern printed at 24 mm can read as damage; check the panel and keep the face above 30 mm on paper.
Label for a small producer
The bridged script gives a small label a printed-mark character at 13 pt, and the flowing joins keep it from looking industrial.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 45 mm kraft label: set the brand at 13 pt, set the product in a 5 pt caps sans beneath, and keep 5 mm of margin so the bridges are not filled by the label's absorbency.
Pre-production check
Kraft absorbs ink and closes a 1 mm bridge; check a printed label on the actual stock and widen the gaps before the run.
