FMTV Stencil Font

[jpinst]

There are several other threads out there with this topic, but none seem to nail down the answer definitively.

I am looking of the correct font (family name) for modern military vehicles such as the FMTV and HMMWv. I have a new stencil cutting machine and am itching to use it.

Please help.

Our trucks were just block letters.

standard block stencil. You order a stencil kit, it shows up, paint the trucks... absolutely nothing special about it.

I have noticed the fonts vary. The fonts on my trucks are slightly different from truck to truck. As long as you are doing them all it won't matter much if you don't have to match existing letters.

I made my own stencils and actually customized some of the letters and numbers to be the way I wanted. Stencil cutters are pretty neat. The font you want for the computer is phantom stencil.

Good luck.

When I was in (USAF) we used what ever we had on hand. If someone was particularly proud of their vehicle or maybe it was up for a special inspection they would run to an office store and buy some "fancy" stencils. In other words, there is no hardline regulation that specifies what font to use.

Roger. These new stencil cutting machines work like printers, so you can pretty much use any block letter stencil font and there are several. Thanks
