Font ID

Need help identifying this font.

Thank you

Hello, this is all originally custom, hand drawn lettering. You can see the slight differences from letter to letter in the earlier inscriptions. Nearer the bottom you can see that the Spacerite Classic Roman alphabet has been used for some characters (‘A’, ‘D’, ‘L’, ‘I’, ‘B’, ‘1’, etc.), while other more eccentric or noticeable characters were modified by hand to match the earlier inscriptions (‘R’, ‘H’, ‘S’, ‘6’, ‘9’, etc.).

You can see how some characters have changed quite dramatically from the top to the bottom lines (‘A’, ‘2’, ‘3’).

This all creates a difficult situation for the individual adding subsequent information. Do you match the last inscription or the first? Or do you try to morph the characters to be somewhere in between?

Either way this will need to be custom matched. Please reach out if you would like to utilize the inscription matching service: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/cemetery-inscription-matching-service/

Thank you so much.  I will use the Spacerite Classic Roman font to match the last inscription with minimal modification so that future inscriptions will not be as difficult to match.
