Hi Whitney, I’m afraid I’ll need to see an image of what you are looking for, I will reach out via email.
Hello Monica, this looks like Georgia Bold that has been manually condensed to fit the available space.
Hello Monica, I am unsure on this one. Do you happen to have a larger image you can upload that would help in seeing the details?
I believe you are correct that this is a modified version of Newtext. The number 1 also appears to be different. It is possible it is a custom version modified by a specific monument company and not something you will find commercially available.
While this does appear to be a font and not hand-drawn lettering, it’s not something I have seen before or have any examples of. If you would like help matching it, feel free to use the Inscription Matching Service.
Hello, I believe this is hand-drawn lettering, and will need to be custom matched. If you would like help matching it, feel free to use the Inscription Matching Service.
Hi Monica, it may be a different poor-quality version of the font available in some other lesser-known design software, or perhaps a malfunctioning plotter has created less crisp lines or slightly distorted letters, which I have seen happen occasionally.
Hi Monica, this is a version of Zapf Chancery Bold available in the Gerber software. It has non-lining numerals in place of the standard numbers usually available in most versions of the font.
Hello, this is a font typically referred to as Round Serif. There are several versions of it in various memorial design software, including “Round Serif” in Cochran’s Monumental Designer, and “K&O Sandblast 1” in Monu-Cad.

Hello, thanks for posting. This is an unknown version of Modified Roman, which at the very least has been hand-painted, so it is hard to tell where the actual engraving is versus just black paint spilling over, but it looks possible that the letters may have been hand-drawn and/or hand-cut in stencil as well. Most notably, each of the R’s are quite different in appearance.
Either way, this is not a version of Modified Roman that I think you will find an exact digital match for, but it does seem to follow the same basic letter forms as the Spacerite Modified Roman. The MLC version will match fairly closely to this, with perhaps a slight stroke/outline added for extra thickness. The small differences between the two versions of the lettering/font shouldn’t be glaring, especially because the font will be used on an entirely separate memorial and not for adding information only a few inches away from existing lettering on the original memorial.
This is the old metal Spacerite Double Outline alphabet. There are currently no digital versions of the font available, but I am working on one for the MLC.

Hello Marc, this is a version of the monument industry font Bold Roman, or sometimes Roman Bold. There are several versions of the font available in various memorial design software, and they all vary in different ways. I also have a version available here in the shop: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/mlc-signature-series-roman-bold-outline/
Unfortunately this is not something I’ve ever seen before and is likely custom Old English lettering.
