NO MERCY

Worth knowing. The gaps are the design. Shrink it too far and they close, and it stops looking like a stencil at all.

Where stencil lettering works

Lettering needs length rather than width, so it suits a forearm running lengthways, a ribcage, a back or a chest piece. Short words work on a wrist or neck. Check how much each spot hurts on the pain chart, and see finished work on the lettering style page.
