Stenso Stencil

About Stenso Stencil Font

This was created from a vintage Stenso lettering et No. 12 from 1956. It only had the basic alphabet and numbers a couple extra letters so I created all of the remaining glyphs. It’s rough and organic. Hopefully it’s a fit for your project.

Styles in this family: Regular. Preview each weight on this page, then download the complete Stenso Stencil package.
