Lock Sans Stencil
CoType Foundry · Mark Bloom, Diana Ovezea · 2024
A stencil adaptation of Lock Sans across six weights, lending a bold industrial character to the geometric sans while designed to swap cleanly with its non-stencil counterpart.
About
Lock Sans Stencil applies deliberate stencil cuts to the geometric structure of Lock Sans, producing six weights from ExtraLight to Black aimed at headlines, posters and branding. Glyph alternates for key characters including 'a', 'g', 't' and 'Q', alongside arrows and circled numerals, add range for editorial and identity applications. It ships as a variable font and sits within CoType's 24-style Lock superfamily, where stencil and standard styles share enough dimensional consistency to be exchanged without visual disruption.
