The typography on a 1964 children’s activity book published by Whitman entitled “Build with Stencils” was in a bold, condensed design. The only problem was that the ‘rails’ [the parts that divide a letter into stencil pieces] were too narrow and would disappear at smaller point sizes. Widening the ‘rails’ just a bit greatly improved the appearance of the stencil characters.
Play Day Stencil JNL is now available in both regular and oblique versions.
In its day, the Whitman Publishing Company of Racine, Wisconsin published dozens of activity books for children, including a number of them with stencils. The company was a division of Western Publishers from the early 1900s through the 1970s, but went through a number of sales and name changes.
Currently [as Whitman once again] it is owned by Anderson Press, and is known for its line of coin folders and books on coin collecting.

Download Analoga Sans Font Family From Latinotype Mexico
Analoga Sans was developed by Fernando Pérez while studying a Typographical Design masters at the Gestalt Studies Center in Mexico. Inspired by grotesque sans-serif shapes and the fluidity from humanist typefaces, this family seeks to reconcile both worlds in a proposal that is defined by typography blocks.

Italic and stylistic sets design is closely connected to calligraphy. In general, weight variables in this family are ideal for long text compositions, while its extremes, Thin and Extra Bold, play a great role for headlines and graphic compositions. The font has a 454-character set which includes alternative drawings and an extended set of ligatures that support over 200 Latin-based languages.

Download Geo Deco Font Family From Tipo Pèpel

Modernity in the visual contrast between lowercase and capital letters, where rounded shapes are opposed to the breaks and graphic tensions of the strokes of the capital letters. which gives it an enormous originality.
Generous doses of internal whites, assure a powerful legibility even with the spite of its short ascending and descending strokes. What we get is a coherent and martial look where fluidity and homogeneity is the main note. Soft and rounded minuscule, with large internal whites for super legibility, bombproof, especially on screens, where Geodeco lives with an astonishing naturalness.
The capital letters, used alone as display, or as companions of the minuscule characters, give the family a touch of originality and exotic flavor. Like the spices in the food; a brief but intense note. Breaking the rectangular shapes so that the appearance of the letter comes out benefits from enlarging the internal whites and making them consistent with the white of the lower case.
GeoDeco works very well in plain text with the obvious limitation that it is not a type for small bodies, but exceptionality weldon for plain text and signage. Maximum visibility, total beauty on screens. A family of this new century with the flavour of that epoch of experimentation that were the years 20.
