Unfortunately, they do not sell or generally distribute the font. The will do layouts for you for a fee.
Hi Carl, this is a custom Cold Spring Granite font name Monument Times New Roman. It is based on Times but with some changes, including the letter ‘J’, and entirely different numbers.
Hi John, this is Lombardic style lettering, sometimes also referred to as Uncial in the monument industry, though it is not an uncial style. As with many bronze lettering styles, I believe this is a custom alphabet created by a bronze company.
I have two fonts in the MLC font shop that are similar in style: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product-tag/lombardic-uncial/
The font needed to match the name and dates looks like the Olson font in the Monu-Cad software. There are no other versions available outside of Monu-Cad that I am aware of.
I believe the font used on the surname may be a different font.
Hello, this appears to be Zapf Chancery Italic, with the ‘J’ swapped out with one from another font. it is possibly from Regular Zapf Chancery, but manually slanted, or perhaps the ‘J’ from Lucida Calligraphy, which is another chancery style font.
This appears to be hand-drawn lettering. In the 1960s there were only a few “fonts” available for reproducing lettering in the form of plastic or metal letters, and at that time they were all memorial industry specific styles. Though it was possible to hand-draw lettering styles based on existing typefaces, fonts like Baker Signet were not used on memorials until sometime in the 1990s as the digital era was underway.
