Searched and found questions relating to script but not stencil. All the stencil fonts I found were mopre suitable for military or sci fi,

Elegant, not too fine or overly 'fancy' as it has to be laser cut and inlayed. No closed loops. Thanks

Workhorse Script Stencil comes to mind.

See the “Related Typefaces” column at the link above for links to other good options: Bery Script, Chateau, Concrete Stencil, and Rosa Stencil.

Ha! You beat me to it by 30 seconds.

Thanks to both of you.

Rosa Stencil is very close, it would need work closing some of the extra gaps but the look is right and all the loops are open.

Also found Dancing Script, another option, just needs a couple of letters opened which, as with Rosa Stencil, can be easily done on a job by job basis.

The other suggestions looked good but some fine lines that would be hard to inlay at smaller sizes, although perfect for epoxy infil.

Just in case you didn’t see this: Workhorse Script comes in various optical sizes, including Caption and Micro styles that are optimized for small applications, with beefier lines.

I noticed the other sizes but didn't realise they had different prortions, I'll have another look, thanks.
