SeidelThe Vtg Stencil fonts from astype are based on real life stencils from a number of nations. In the case of French stencils the challenge was unique, since of the ranges of different widths and weights in between the stencil sets-- so I made France No. 1, No. 3 and No. 5.
.The most special and attractive aspects of common French stencils are the figures 1, 2, 3, 7 and a specifically 5. The figure 5 changes in design on smaller stencil sizes, its bobble getting changed by something like a "breve". The letters J and Q can vary in style too. Lowercase letter sets are unusual finds however were produced and still exist. In very old stencils sets and on custom stencil indications you will find much more varieties.
.French stencil letters were used by artists like Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso who integrated lettering in paintings from their cubist duration, and by the famous architect Le Corbusier. Over the time, these stencil letters ended up being a worldwide acknowledged landmark of French style and French taste.
