Trafaret specimen from ParaType

A single-weight stencil display face from 1993, built on unicase letterforms with dramatic circular cutouts and high stroke contrast suited to poster work.

About

Designed by Alexander Kustov at TypeMarket in 1993, Trafaret shares its conceptual territory with Tom Hultgren's Traffic (Letraset, 1973). The specimen reveals letters constructed from sweeping circular arcs and sharp stencil breaks, producing an informal, high-contrast silhouette. Available in one weight, it is tagged as unicase, decorative and poster-oriented.

Classification

The specimen shows a stencil-style decorative typeface with extreme high-contrast strokes and large circular cutouts replacing conventional counters, giving letters a bold, poster-oriented character. The unicase construction and informal letterforms place it firmly in the display category.
