Breaks letters into individual shapes to create a fusion of brushy elements and spiky details
Pensum Stencil
fragile antique
sophisticated look & feel

Pensum Stencil exaggerates. Inspired by Pensum Display, it highlights the contrast and breaks letters into individual shapes to create a fusion of brushy elements and spiky details. A high contrast design, Pensum Stencil and its sharp stencil cuts brings expression to editorial headlines, confident branding or artisanal packaging.

From an almost hairline Thin to a striking, elemental Black, Pensum Stencil’s nine weights offer a broad spectrum of expression and embody a sophisticated, elegant look and feel. As Pensum Stencil’s weight darkens, its accents and some punctuation stay a little lighter—a delicate detail that accentuates its character in the boldest weights.

With more than 900 glyphs and lots of OpenType features, Pensum Stencil is a fully-featured display typeface. For lovers of fine typography, the small caps are wider than the caps, and the typeface is outfitted with case and small-cap sensitive punctuation. Pensum Stencil’s character set is offering a wide range of Latin language support.
