Stencil refers to two typefaces released within months of each other in 1937. The face created by R. Hunter Middleton for Ludlow was advertised in June, while Gerry Powell's version for American Type Founders appeared one month later. Both fonts consist of only capital letters with rounded edges and thick main strokes, much like a Clarendon typeface, except with breaks in the face to give it the appearance of the stenciled alphabets used on boxes and crates.〔MacGrew, Mac, ''American Metal Typefaces of the Twentieth Century'' Oak Knoll Books, New Castle Delaware, 1993, ISBN 0-938768-34-4, pp. 292-293.〕 Powell's exploration of ''Stencil'' became very popular over time and is still used today. ==Digital Copies== ''Stencil'' has been copied by many digital producers, including Linotype GmbH, Adobe, URW++. As the A.T.F. version is heavier, it is often called ''Stencil Bold'' when copied. In 1997, Alexei Chekulaev made a Cyrillic version of ''Stencil Bold'', called ''Stencil Cyrillic Regular.'' In ''Rookledge's Classic International Typefinder'',〔Perfect, Christopher, Gordon Rookledge, Phil Baines, ''Rookledge's Classic International Typefinder,'' Lawrence King Publishing, London, 2004, ISBN 978-1-85669-406-3, p. 575.〕 the entry ''Stencil Bold'' shows the existence of a lowercase letters in the font that are unavailable from either actual type foundries or the producers of digital type. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stencil (typeface)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
