    Hi All,

    New to the forum but was wondering if anyone could identify this font (Not the script).  I have to add an inscription…

     

    Thanks

    Hello Rob, it’s hard to tell at such a small size, but the font appears to be a version of Michelangelo. There are multiple versions, including Michelangelo BQ, Medici, OPTI MichealAngelo, and most recently Palatino Nova Titling. Each varies slightly.

    Not sure if the memorial from your photo was actually created in 1974 as the death date suggests, but if so, the inscription may have been based on Michelangelo but at that time would have been hand-drawn and hand-cut in the stencil. In this case there may be further differences.

    Seems to be right after looking at those fonts. I will try to match.

    Thank you!
