Yes, this is not something currently available in the MLC Font Shop. You’ll need to visit the CGX Monument Shop website: https://cgxmonumentshop.com/
Hello, this is a font in the Monu-Cad software named Classic Roman 2. It is also available in Gerber format from CGX Monument Shop under the name Classic Roman JP-SO.
I have seen this version before but unfortunately I am not aware of what software it comes from. The closest version I am aware of is the Monu-Cad Bold Roman 1 font, but there are some obvious differences, though the numeral 2 is very condensed like this.
No, unfortunately not. This is a common print industry font and a bit outside of the scope of the MLC monument font project, but it can be purchased from several online font retailers.
Hi Chris, this is the ScotchKut Double Outline at the medium sizes, with the second outline removed and a custom ampersand. Based on the date it is likely that the actual plastic letters were used and the ampersand drawn by hand, or it the memorial was made much later in the late 1980s or 1990s, it is possible that this was a digital version.
The MLC has a version of the of the font available which has been bundled with a second font matching the plastic alphabets at the large sizes as well, here: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/mlc-scotchkut-double-outline-medium-large/
Hello, this is likely one of the versions of Palatino available in the Gerber Omega software. It does look like it has been manually condensed. There is also a print industry TTF version available named Palatino BQ.
This is a font in the Monu-Cad software that they named European. It is based on an old plastic stencil-press alphabet produced in the 1980s by a German company named Scheibenbogen.
It’s hard to tell from the image, but I believe this is hand-drawn lettering. There seems to be some variation from letter to letter.
Hello, this was likely hand-drawn. This style of “bowed-out” vertical strokes became somewhat popular in the 1930s and 40s, but has become very rare since that time. The Drafting Shoppe has a somewhat similar font name Roman Arc available for the Gerber system, but it does not match what is pictured here exactly.
If you would like help matching it, feel free to use the MLC Inscription Matching Service.
Hello Torrey, this is a font in Cochran’s software simply named Script. There is also a Gerber version available from the Drafting Shoppe.
