The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

So, that appears to be the armour stencil font?

Not to want to rain on anyone's parade but I'm afraid I have to disagree.
It looks just like a fairly generic stencil to me.

The amour stencil is basically just Microgramma/Eurostile which has been modified into a stencil.
Note the image of Crowe's armour. The C and the O exhibit the very recognisable 'rounded-square' shape of Microgramma.

Conversely, the "CELLBLOCK" stencil has much more circular shape to those letters. Note also that the central bar of the "E" is connected too where the E in "Crowe" is not.

I'd wager that it is simply stencilled in the traditional way using one of those plastic stencils that you can buy at any stationary store.
