I’m not sure what type of font this is?

Hi Brian, yes, “Lakehead” and “Fancy Gothic” are both Monu-Cad fonts based on old plastic stencil press alphabets. There aren’t many digital versions of the fonts available. The original alphabet was called Modified Roman Raised, by the PALL Corporation. The second alphabet was based on PALL’s, but produced by the PMD Company for their “Cutrite” brand of stencil press alphabets. The biggest difference between the two was the punctuation. I have created a font for the MLC based on the PMD version, but it was wildly different punctuation than the one in your photo, which I do believe is Monu-Cad’s Lakehead. I am not aware of any other digital versions of the fonts available.

Here is a link to the closest font available in the MLC’s library: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/mlc-cutrite-modified-roman-raised/

Thank you again Brandon! I basically had it in my back pocket the whole time and didn’t realize it :(. It’s hot right now, forgive me :). Although, I did take the fancy gothic and manipulated that to work for me the best I could. I really do appreciate your feed back.
