Review on πŸ”  C-THRU Westcott LetterCraft Stencil: Helvetica Font, 3/4-Inch and 1-Inch Characters - Perfect for precise lettering projects by Amy Mcleod

Cutting with a broken laser or left-handed scissors?

Helvetica is known for its clean lines, geometry and versatility. These templates are the opposite of all of these characteristics. The edges of the letters are not even uneven in places. Some letters (particularly the lowercase "e") were cut at different angles. So instead of being a uniform width, the stroke is wide at one end, and then one of the sides is skewed to a very important connection point. Absolutely terrible performance. If you want to create a "grunge" or "post-apocalyptic" version of Helvetica, this might help. You really do look like a right-handed second grader stuck with left-handed scissors, trying to carve letters out of a thin piece of blue plastic. I would return them but don't want them resold as 'used' to an unsuspecting consumer. They go in the trash can.
