About

Lintsec: History & Characteristics

David Rakowski

Stencil

Open Source

Lintsec is a free font from David Rakowski.

Lintsec was crafted by David Rakowski. The typeface brings careful attention to typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Stencil typeface in the Vox-ATypI Graphic classification, Lintsec features characteristic gaps (bridges) in strokes to preserve counters and geometric construction with uniform stroke width. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for military, industrial, and utilitarian branding.

Lintsec is available in a single weight, offering focused typographic consistency for both digital and print applications, with 4 curated font pairings available. Standard Latin character coverage serves the majority of Western typographic workflows.
