Hi Scott, I believe this is a hand-drawn custom Modified Roman, though the G’s are more like a Condensed or Slender Roman.
Good afternoon, this is a font style typically known as “faux-hebrew”. Our Latin alphabet written using the style of traditional Hebrew lettering. There are a number of free fonts available in this style, as well as some available for purchase, though none of them will likely match this inscription exactly, as it appears to have been hand-drawn.
Hi Chris, the font for the names and dates is named Roman Italic Medium, it’s a proprietary font currently only available in the Monu-Cad software.
If you would like help matching it, feel free to use the MLC Inscription Matching Service.
Hello, this is a version of Times New Roman available only in the Gerber design software. It is more condensed, is overall bolder, and has much thicker serifs than the standard print industry version.
If you would like help matching it feel free to use the MLC Inscription Matching Service.
This is a proprietary font available in Cochran’s Monumental Designer simply named Script. There is also a version available for Gerber at the Drafting Shoppe under the name Script European.
Hello, this is hand drawn and hand carved lettering. Physical alphabets, or anything that we might consider as “fonts” now were not used on memorials during the time period this was produced—though this was a common lettering style at the time.
It does appear to read: “at Brus**** France”, or “at Bras**** France”. It is also quite possible the name of the city, region, or village in France was misspelled on this memorial.
Hi Eric, this is a font named Latin 725. There are also versions under the names Meridien and Frutiger Serif.
Hello Christopher, this is a version of a font named Perpetua Bold. However, it appears as if it has been manipulated—perhaps stretched to give it more width.
Hello, this is the Chapel font, currently available only in Cochran’s Monumental Designer software.
If you would like help matching it, feel free to use the MLC Inscription Matching Service.
Hello, this looks like it is custom lettering, as the duplicate characters (9, t, s, etc.) all have quite a bit of variance.
If you would like help matching it for an inscription, feel free to use the MLC Inscription Matching Service.
Hello, this looks like hand-cut Spacerite Modified Roman lettering. There is a version in the MLC font shop, though it may need some modification in order to match the size of the serifs on the lettering in the photo.
Hello, this is possibly the Gerber version of Zapf Chancery Bold that has been manually condensed, as the Gerber version has the features on numbers you mentioned. However, in the Gerber version the numbers are non-lining, so this may be a different version unknown to me, likely from a sign-making software.
