Font Collection: 10 Stylish Free Stencil Fonts
Stenciled paintings date as far back as prehistoric times. Throughout history, their use has been utilitarian (such as in the labeling of crate shipments and temporary public signage) as well as artistic (in graffiti and street art). This free font collection presents 10 usable free stencil fonts.
1. Octin Prison Regular
This free stencil font is by Canadian font designer Ray Larabie, the creator of the free Larabie Fonts set.
2. UnitedStencil
UnitedStencil is a free offering from the House Industries type foundry. The font is thin, stylish, and highly functional.
3. Scriber Bold Stencil
This free stencil font has straight edges inspired by contemporary architectural and computer aided designs.
4. OricNeo Stencil
Influenced by the movie series, The Matrix, OricNeo Stencil is a free font made by The Northern Block.
5. Lintsec
Lintsec is a popular free stencil font by David Rakowski, a successful musician who was nominated twice for the Pulitzer Prize.
6. Major Snafu
This free stencil font by Vic Fieger is in all-caps and has strong characteristics, both common features of stenciled lettering.
7. Octin Stencil Regular
Octin Stencil features powerful and commanding characteristics that are perfect for athletic, construction, and military themes.
8. Sylar Stencil
By The Northern Block font foundry, the free Stylar Stencil font has a unique and modern look-and-feel — a font that will surely garner attention.
9. Boston Traffic
Boston Traffic is a free stencil font that moderately mimics the often rough and irregular results of spray painted stenciled letterings.

Thanks for these awesome fonts! Really great looking too. I’ve always been fascinated by stencil fonts for some reason:) I guess its because the fact I can cut them out easily.

Gosh! The universe of fonts.. There’s so much to discover and to learn. I haven’t ‘taken the plunge’ just yet and I’m even considering if it’s worth it. This of this blog. Think of how much knowledge there is behind every little detail about fonts – I can’t see myself learning enough to keep up with guys and blogs like this. I think I’ll just lay back and relax :D. Great blog!!
