Good afternoon, this appears to be one of Gerber’s Modified Roman fonts that has been manually “italicized”.

Hello, this is most likely hand drawn lettering. Similar to our industry’s splayed corner gothic, but instead the artist rounded the corners.

Hello Marc, this is a version of a font named Victorian.

Hello, the font from your image is a print industry version of Classic Roman, just named “Classic Roman”, or Monotype Classic Roman. It appears that the screenshot is from the Gerber software, and the file may be corrupted, or the original font is no longer installed and Gerber has replaced it with another font name that the user does have installed—or potentially some system/font files may have become corrupted or somehow accidentally renamed on that user’s computer.

Good afternoon, this is a version of Lectura/Leighton/Leidon. The exact version is likely Lectura Bold in the Gerber software.

Hello, this is not a font, but hand-drawn “Commercial” Gothic lettering.

Hello, this is a pretty interesting one. This is Helvetica Condensed, but with serifs added by the stencil cutter. It was the shape of those numbers that gave it away, and then I noticed the shape of the unmistakeable Helvetica ‘R’ as well. I’ve definitely never seen anyone do this before. Looks like they slightly modified the top of the 1 as well.

Hi Tyler, it’s hard to tell for sure from the details in the photo you posted, but this appears to be the ScotchKut/SKS Double Outline. I have versions of the font to match the various sizes available in the font shop, which you can see here: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/mlc-scotchkut-double-outline-medium-large/

Hi Marc, it is hard to tell for sure, but this appears to be the ScotchKut Raised Modified Roman alphabet. It is also possible that it is a digital font that is based on the original plastic letters, but may not be exact, as in the case of the “Nelson Roman” font, which is a version of it available in Cochran’s Monumental Designer software.

I have a TTF/OTF version of the font that is faithful to the original plastic letters, available in the font shop: MLC Raised Modified Roman SKS

Hi Paul, it is hard to tell for sure, but this looks like it may be a hand drawn Roman.

[MLC]

This is a free font called Engebrechtre Extended Bold.

The sans-serif for the date looks like it may be Shannon Pro Book.

I believe this is a font named Berling.

[MLC]

This is a Monument Roman Sans-Serif font, which would have been based on the metal Spacerite Modified Roman letters and then hand-cut, with the stencil cutter removing the serifs.

I have created a digital version to match it, but there are always some differences due to the hand-cutting element, so it may need to be modified further still to match exactly.

MLC Signature Series Modified Roman Sans

Yes, this is the same font, though it is likely a slightly different version.
