The 20 best free stencil fonts for laser cutting & laser engraving 2026

We've updated our list for 2026 with 20 hand-picked, totally free fonts. All font collections shown here can be used for free, but make sure you check the terms and conditions for each one.

Why is stencil font a must when laser cutting sheet metal?

When laser cutting text in sheet metal, stainless steel, aluminum, or other thin materials, the letters must be open (stencil with bridges) – otherwise, the inner parts of O, A, B, D, P, e, a, g, etc. will fall out and ruin the result.
