Good afternoon, this is a lettering style typically named Round Serif originally published in an old book on lettering in 1956, and brought into the memorial industry by AICA members. For many years it was drawn by hand, but there are now several digital versions of it, including in Cochran’s software and Monu-Cad. The Monu-Cad version is named K&O Sandblast 1. The Monu-Cad version has non-lining numerals like this, while the Cochran’s version contains numbers all with the same height.

I believe this is Roman Italic Medium in the Monu-Cad software.

I believe this is URW’s version of Minister Bold, which is a bit different than the Linotype version.
This looks like a custom version of Outlined Roman based on one of the Gerber Omega Modified Roman fonts (the style of the number 2 is the giveaway), with an outline/stroke added for extra thickness before adding the actual second outline.
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen this specific version before, but it is likely a custom creation made by a retailer or perhaps a quarry/manufacturer.

Hello, this is a modified version of a font called Piranesi, created as a Gerber font for the monument industry by Ted Witt, formerly of Classic Memorial Graphics. Ted’s version is named Monument Script.
As far as I am aware the font is no longer available.

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.
