Military stencil display
Stencil Army
Stencil Army is a military stencil display in white and olive over a dark photograph: square counters, bridge gaps through the stems, an angular cut on the S and a contrasting line weight, shown in two treatments with a small bordered badge, so the plate reads as a technical marking.

Letterform structure
of Stencil Army.
The specimen sets the two words in two treatments: an outlined version running large at the back and a solid version at the front, which is a fair way to show a face that ships as a single cut — the outline is a treatment rather than a second style. The drawing is a stencil at technical weight: the letters are square, the bridges are consistent, and the corners are blunt, which keeps the face readable when it is sprayed or cut from tape. The narrow counters hold at a distance, and the heavy weight survives on fabric and metal. The ground is a dark photograph of a uniformed figure, and the small bordered badge at the lower right names the product in tiny tracked caps so it stays subordinate.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Stencil Army’s stroke geometry.
Marking for a workshop
A stencil face reads as a tool marking, and the bridge gaps let a workshop paint a name on crates and equipment with a single cut mask.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Stencil a 400 by 150 mm crate mark: the name at 90 mm cap height, the number in a 30 mm stencil, and a 4 mm bridge. Keep 20 mm margins and spray two colours on a primed surface.
Pre-production check
Check the 90 mm stencil after one coat, where a bridge can bleed shut; keep bridges above 4 mm. Confirm the 30 mm number reads at three metres and that the mark survives a wipe-down with solvent.
Signage for a sports hall
A technical stencil suits institutional signage and holds on a wall where a decorative face would look out of place, and the square letters stay legible from the far end of a hall.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print 1,200 by 400 mm: the hall name at 160 mm cap height, the direction lines in a 40 mm stencil, and a 8 mm border. Keep 30 mm margins and print two colours on a light panel.
Pre-production check
Check the panel at twenty metres, where a narrow counter can close; keep the counters above 8 mm. Confirm the 40 mm directions read at eight metres and that the border clears the fixings.
Shirt graphic for a paintball trip
A stencil face prints as a single screen and looks like a unit marking, which suits an outdoor trip better than a decorated party face.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 240 mm chest graphic: the team name at 50 mm cap height, the date at 16 mm, and one ink on a light shirt. Keep the thinnest bridge at 3 mm so the screen holds and place the graphic 80 mm below the collar.
Pre-production check
Check the screen at actual mesh, where a 3 mm bridge fills; widen it. Wash-test one shirt and confirm the date stays legible after five cycles.

Condensed military stencil sans
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.
