Macrosoma Stencil

Nearly two thousand cuts, one stencil system

Macrosoma Stencil is a stencil sub-family drawn from the broader Macrosoma collection, described as one of the most expansive type families ever created at nearly two thousand individual cuts. The stencil variant spans compressed to extended widths and hairline to black weights, available in both hard and soft-edged versions across sans and slab serif styles. The Grotesque Stencil variant introduces subtle openings at the densest stroke connections to lighten those areas while preserving an industrial character.
