Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Barista Stencil.
Barista Stencil is an open-loop bridged stencil calligraphy script made for wood and metal cutting: a loaded brush stroke with cut-through bridges across every loop, ragged edges and a firm slant that reads as a routed sign. The bridges are structural, and a bridge that is too thin disappears in a router or a plasma cutter. It needs roughly 32 mm for the bridge and the brush edge to read, and it is best as a routed or engraved one-colour job, or a stencilled ink on a flat surface.

Café sign, wood plaque and cup print
An open-loop stencil script is what a café actually needs to route a wooden sign or dust cocoa through a template. The bridges hold at 60 mm on a plaque, and one process covers the plaque and the cups in one order.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Wood plaque 600 x 400 mm, word 90 mm with 12 mm bridge clearance, 25 mm margins. Cup print 70 x 50 mm, word 16 mm, 5 mm margins. Card 85 x 55 mm, word 16 mm, 5 mm margins.
Pre-production check
A 70 x 50 mm cocoa template at 16 mm has bridges thinner than the grain and the loops flood. Keep stencils at 28 mm with 3 mm bridges, and dust one cup before the batch.
Thank-you plaque, tag and crate print
A stencil script reads as a routed acknowledgement rather than a printed note, which is what a maker wants on a gift crate. The bridges hold at 30 mm on a crate, and one cut covers the crate and the tags in one order.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Crate print 300 x 200 mm, word 60 mm with 10 mm bridge clearance, 20 mm margins. Tag 50 x 90 mm, word 20 mm, 5 mm hole with 8 mm clear. Card A6, word 22 mm, 8/11 pt, 12 mm margins.
Pre-production check
A 50 x 90 mm vinyl tag at 20 mm has 1.5 mm bridges that tear during weeding. Keep tags at 28 mm or cut them from 3 mm board, and test one before the batch.
Harvest-stall sign, crate stencil and price card
A bridged stencil is what a stall actually needs to spray crates in one pass. The bridges hold at 90 mm on a crate, and one ink covers the crate, the sign and the cards in one order.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Crate stencil 300 x 200 mm, word 60 mm with 10 mm bridge clearance, 20 mm margins. Sign 900 x 600 mm, word 120 mm, 25 mm margins. Price card 105 x 75 mm, item 18 mm, price 24 mm.
Pre-production check
A 105 x 75 mm price card at 18 mm fills the brush edge and the item reads as a bar in low light. Raise the item to 24 mm, and check one card under the market lamp.

Matryk Stencil
Matryk Stencil is a hand-cut brush script in black with a thick white outline on burlap: heavy connected lowercase strokes, an oversized capital that lifts into a loop, and cut-out bridges through several letters, so the pair reads as a paper stencil laid on the table.

Military Soldier
Military Soldier is a condensed stencil sans in cream on olive: very tall narrow caps with squared corners, bridges cutting through the closed letters, and flat terminals, set in two lines with the second line lighter in weight, so the pair reads as a stencilled crate marking rather than a decorative display.
