A modern stencil font

Mind the Gap was born out of the frustration of the love/hate relationship I have with the daily commute in London.

I'm not sure if it's just a London thing or if the daily commute is hell in New York City, Paris, Madrid, Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing, Mexico City, Moscow, Tokyo and Berlin.

And do they say "Mind the Gap"?

Stencil font mind the gap

The stencil font was created by hand cutting letter stencils and spraying them with black paint. This gives it an industrial, almost military look and feel.

It's deliberately not perfect. I wanted it to be dirty, so it looks more real and has a bit of personality.

Display font

It includes one stylistic alternative for uppercase and lowercase A-Z. Plus an additional stylistic alternative for A,B,D,O,P,Q,R and a,b,d,e,g,o,p,q and three alternatives for numbers.

That means you can change out repeated glyphs with alternatives. You can watch a quick demo on how to do this in Photoshop CC—

About Simon Stratford

Hello, that's me or itsmesimon, aka Simon Stratford. I design everything from custom typefaces for advertising agencies to ready to buy fonts for designers (like you) to the occasional digital oil painting for TV and print.

I've spent over 20 years in the design industry, from teaching photoshop, web design, movie promotion, and branding agencies to digital marketing—I think I've done most jobs. I got tired of the rat race and the daily commute in London. So I stopped doing things I didn't what to do—and started doing things I did want to do—more creative things.

So if you want to be part of my tribe, follow me on
