Typeface Family for Technical Drawings and Architectural Plans
Type derived from the drafting table
Plotter Stencil is a subfamily within Nikola Djurek's Plotter, a large type family referencing the hand-lettered technical drawings and architectural plans produced with technical pens and stencils. Letters are reduced to monolinear, round-terminal strokes built from basic stencil elements: stems, arms, curves, and diagonals. The broader Plotter super-family spans 47 fonts across 12 packages, including monospaced, display, hand, and wave variants.

Insights
- The super-family splits into two structural branches—Plotter (round curves) and Plotter Liner (straight-segment curves)—each carrying Basic, Monospaced, Stencil, Monospaced Stencil, and Display variants.
- Plotter Wave uses OpenType contextual substitution to cycle letter shapes across a range of slopes, from extreme backslant to extreme right slant, within a single word.
- Upright forms can be inclined mathematically to any angle, including backslants.
- OpenType feature support is intentionally minimal; two Stylistic Sets provide alternate forms of 'a' and 'I'.
