Tecnica Slab Stencil trades the solidity of traditional serifs for the graphic punch of stencil cutouts, creating forms that work as boldly on metal as they do on paper. Designed by Pablo Balcells for Graviton Font Foundry in 2014, this family bridges the gap between decorative detail and industrial function that few fonts manage.

The typeface arrives in eight distinct styles split into two design philosophies. Stencil 1 pairs heavier strokes with carefully planned cutouts, built for bold applications on rigid materials: shop signage in sheet metal, vinyl decals for vehicle graphics, and large-format exterior displays that need to punch through from distance. Stencil 2 takes the opposite approach with lighter, more delicate stems, designed for precision work on lighter substrates. It excels for small-run apparel printing, custom product labels, decorative wall decals in galleries or cafes, and screen-printed merchandise where detail matters as much as impact. The slab serif weight keeps both versions sharp and readable despite the stencil breaks, and having four weights in each category gives you real flexibility across different sizes and print conditions.

This is the natural fit for designers and makers tackling interior signage, custom lettering projects, and merchandise that needs distinctive character and structural clarity. You'll find Tecnica Slab Stencil Family on Creative Fabrica.
