Kon­stata is really a niche font for spe­cial use. Cre­ated for sten­cil use, Kon­stata fea­tures a set of only 10 dif­fer­ent ele­ments (aka your tem­plates) out of which you can com­pose the com­plete type­face. There­fore it bor­ders between being some­what grungy, mod­u­lar and clas­sic and greatly saves space in your back­pack when sten­cil­ing.

Kon­stata is sup­posed to be sten­ciled with closed coun­ters — which is pos­sible due to the mod­u­lar stys­tem. In fact there are no bridges in it at all. It con­sists of a com­plete set of uni­case let­ters — numer­als are ment to be done als roman num­bers, ger­man umlaute are included as ue (ä), oe (ö), ae (ä) and ss (ß). Any medium will do the job but I sug­gest using fast dry­ing paint like Placka, Edding or Mon­tana 94 spray-paint to speed up the pro­cess of com­pos­ing all elements.

On the key­board you will find all 10 ele­ments on the pos­i­tion of numer­als (0?9); a set of fully com­posed char­ac­ters on the pos­i­tion of lower­case let­ters ( a-z incl.

ü, ö, ä, ß); and every let­ter com­posed into the low­est pos­sible num­ber of parts (max­imal two, often only one) at the pos­i­tion of cap­ital letters.

Update! 04.09.2010 — tighter met­rics and improved kern­ing, also new char­ac­ters like exclam­a­tion and ques­tion mark.
