Vtg Stencil Diag-B 087 specimen from Astype Fonts

The seven-eighths inch Diagraph-Bradley stencil gothic, in a refined Regular, a monospaced Mono and a faithful Source.

About

Diagraph's seven-eighths inch punches ran for close to eighty years with almost no change, which makes this a fair record of an early-1900s machine type. Regular is drawn up for artwork, with kerning, even bridges and reworked spacing. Source keeps the original monospaced cut for anyone cutting real stencils, and Mono sits between the two.

Classification

Low-contrast squared sans from a Diagraph-Bradley seven-eighths inch machine. Punches had to be cheap to cut and slow to wear, which shaped the letters.
