Download Vtg Stencil Italy No.2 Fonts by Astype
 |
| Designed by Andreas Seidel, Vtg Stencil Italy No.2 is a stencil font published by Astype. |
he Vtg Stencil fonts from astype are based on real world stencils from several countries. The Italian stencils that I chose as a model for this font are roughly based on classic French stencil letters. However, the Italian stencils are made with a different production technique. The design of the letters is clearly not punch-cut into the plates. Details such as the serifs look bold and clumsy, and when using the stencils as they are meant, with viscous sign paint, smaller details easily fade away. So I took my freedom to design a font close to the original design but adding several typographic tweaks to let it shine, hoping to get closer to the intended design idea of these Italian stencils.
Enjoy the vintage!
