Sheller Stencil

Sheller Stencil is an interpretation of Victorian stenciled lettering found on agricultural machinery made by the Tiffin Agricultural Works in Tiffin, Ohio. These late 19th-century stenciled forms exhibited an unusual pattern, with some characters split at right angles and others following curvilinear breaks in line with the original Art Nouveau-inspired letterforms. Despite Sheller Stencil’s antique origins, it makes for an inspired choice for modern packaging, branding, and editorial work.
