Member 198… Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform I'm looking for examples of stencil type that is less masculine and more neutral or even feminine in appearance. Any ideas? I thinking more about how the counters are bridged than the actual font itself. This is for reference so if you are not quite sure it fits the bill, post anyway and I will no doubt get something out of it. I know this is based on a preconception of what is masculine etc but nevermind, that's the field on which we play! Thanks Link to comment
Member dbe… Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 It's hard without "what for?" but, this is the most feminine stencilI can think of.http://www.fonts.com/findfonts/detail.htm?pid=242712 ? Cheers! Link to comment

Member 198… Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Thanks all. It's for a fashion label, to be laser cut. I will design it from scratch but I am curious to see how/if any others tackled a similar problem. Like I said before, it's less about the base style and maybe more about the way it is converted to a stencil. Link to comment
Member Dav… Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 One more suggestion — Typonine Stencil, by Nikola Djurek. (Edit-a-Bit: I just noticed that this one is/was featured in the FontCase mentioned before, as well.) Jigsaw Stencil, by Johanna Biľak, is one lovely stencil, too. Link to comment
Member 198… Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Thanks David, Typonine caught my eye as having some atypical solutions, which is good because it carries less weight in association. Link to comment
Member cer… Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I immediately think of Wallflower but I don't know if the creator ever made it available for purchase or use. Link to comment
Member par… Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Did anyone mention Nyx? Not really feminine, just not square or militaristic Link to comment
Member 198… Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Thanks again Not really feminine, just not square or militaristic Perhaps that's the best I can hope for in terms of avoiding a stereotype. Link to comment
Member Nic… Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Bramley might give you some ideas. Link to comment
