Once I had looked into the stencil type experiments I decided to take it further and transfer it to an entire alphabet. Some of the design decisions were hard to make, like where to cut through the type at especially on letters like X and Y. The letter forms weren't the shape I imagined them to be, I thought they'd be the same weight all the way around but instead they have very subtle differences making it hard to place a straight line through them. I had to adjust the forms slightly to make my ideas work.
I chose the name O.P as in overpowered, the design I think fits this as it's based on Helvetica which, nowadays is arguably one of the most over used fonts. The stencil design reflects that of Army or military type design.
