Saira Stencil One
Heavy, upright and close to geometric, with the stencil breaks cut as clean vertical slots rather than as nicks taken out of a curve. Those wide gaps are what let it survive being set small, where finer stencils close up and lose the effect entirely. It comes out of the Saira superfamily but is a single static weight, which is worth knowing if you arrived expecting the variable Saira behaviour.

Questions
- Is Saira Stencil One free for commercial use?
- Yes. Saira Stencil One is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
- Can I use Saira Stencil One in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Saira Stencil One belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Hector Gatti. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install Saira Stencil One?
- Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 1 font file inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.
- Does Saira Stencil One support Turkish?
- Yes. Saira Stencil One includes the characters Turkish needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.
- Does Saira Stencil One support Latin, Latin Extended, Turkish and Vietnamese?
- Yes. Saira Stencil One covers Latin, Latin Extended, Turkish and Vietnamese, across 904 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
