Barna Stencil Rough
Typerepublic · Andreu Balius · 2012
A rough-textured stencil display family by Andreu Balius, designed as a companion to the Barna family and carrying an unmistakably urban, wall-painted character.
About
Seven styles span regular and condensed widths across three weights, all sharing a degraded, textured surface that references stencilled messages on neighbourhood walls. The family is designed for display use and works alongside the broader Barna family, with extensive Latin language support and a full suite of OpenType features including small caps, oldstyle figures and fractions. The rough treatment gives it a raw, political edge suited to editorial, campaign and street-culture contexts.
Classification
A stencil-style display typeface with a deliberately rough, distressed texture intended for urban and protest contexts. The stencil construction and degraded surface place it firmly in the display category.
