Cliche specimen from ParaType

A single-weight stencil face by Andrey Belonogov that mimics the casual inconsistencies of hand-cut stencil advertisements.

About

Released by ParaType in 2008, it is intended solely for display use in contexts such as posters and magazines. OpenType features include alternates and discretionary ligatures.
