Star-inlaid heavy military stencil with thick squared stems
Army Force
Army Force is a heavy stencil alphabet in which the stems are thick and squared, the counters cut straight through and a star replaces the counter of the A, so a word reads as equipment marking.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Army Force.
The A holds a five-pointed star in place of its counter, the R keeps a squared bowl and a straight leg, the M splays from a narrow vertex and the Y forks with flat cuts, all at a heavy even weight with bridges that keep the letters from closing. That construction is what makes the face practical: the bridges let the letters be cut as a mask as well as printed solid. Because the shapes are simple and the weight is uniform, a word stacks into two lines at 50 pt and reads from a distance on a case or a wall. The counters are wide enough to survive a spray. The brushed dark ground, the bone ink, the thin rules, the stars and the two caption lines are presentation; the typeface is the word.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Army Force’s stroke geometry.
Stencil for a field or equipment case
The bridges are drawn for a mask, and the heavy squared stems read through a sprayed marking at 40 mm on a case that will be handled hard.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Spray a 60 mm marking: cut a mylar stencil with the name at 60 mm, keep every bridge at 5 mm, and leave 10 mm of mask around each letter so the overspray does not creep under the edge.
Pre-production check
A bridge under 4 mm tears when the mask is lifted; check the cut file at full size and widen the bridge rather than the stem.
Cover panel for an adventure feature
The stencil weight gives a feature title the look of equipment marking, which suits a story about gear or travel at 60 pt.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A4 cover: set the title at 60 pt across a solid panel, set the standfirst in a 11 pt sans beneath, and keep 18 mm of margin so the stencil gaps are visible against the panel edge.
Pre-production check
Stencil gaps over a photograph read as damage; check the cover and place the lettering on a plain panel rather than on the image.
Tag for an outdoor kit bag
The heavy letters read on a small tag at 12 pt and survive a laminated print, which is what a kit label needs in a wet season.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 30 mm laminated tag: set the name at 12 pt, set the number in a 6 pt caps sans beneath, and keep 8 mm clear at one end so the cable tie does not cross a bridge.
Pre-production check
A cable tie pulled tight creases the laminate; check a tied sample and keep 6 mm of card between the hole and the nearest letter.

Snout
Snout is a wide industrial stencil in which heavy capitals are interrupted by narrow vertical gaps, the S and O stay round against straight-sided N, U and T shapes and a speckled fill roughens the surface, so a word reads as a sprayed crate marking.
