Hello, I’m not sure I’ve ever run into this before. It does look like it is probably a font and not hand-drawn due to the consistency of the letters.
The closest font I am aware of is Amerigo BT, which shares many of the same features.
Hello, this is a font in the Monu-Cad software called European. It is based on an old stencil press alphabet designed by a German company named Scheibenbogen.
If you would like help matching it and would like to use the Inscription Matching Service let me know: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/cemetery-inscription-matching-service/
Hi Randy, this appears to be a custom hand-drawn Old English. I have seen some similar hand-drawn styles in Wisconsin, but nothing available as a digital font.
Hello, thanks for contributing. This is a print industry font named Aquitaine Initials, but it has had the inside lines removed.
Hello, this is the PALL Canada plastic stencil press version of the Modified Roman alphabet. This is most easily identified by the serif on the numeral 2 being entirely vertical.
Hi Karen, this is a font in the Monu-Cad software called European. It is based on an old stencil press alphabet designed by a German company named Scheibenbogen.
Um, wow. Someone had fun while hand-cutting the Spacerite Modified Roman letters in the sandblast stencil. This is going to need to be manually matched, but you can use the Spacerite Modified Roman Handcut font as a starting point, or if you’d like you can use the MLC Inscription Matching Service.
Hi Jill, yes I am almost certain this is Helvetica Med Comp Acct AK Rev B in Gerber, which is based on “Helvetica Inserat” but much thinner.
Ok, now that I see the spur serifs on the numbers I can see clearly hat this is a font in Cochran’s software named Round Raised. As the name would make you assume, this is a font usually used for round raised lettering. The surname is also a Cochran’s font named Splayed Gothic, but it has been modified to have a bar across the top of the ‘J’, which isn’t there in the original font.
Hi John, this is an unknown version of Condensed Roman, I believe it to be a custom font created by a manufacturer, as I’ve run into it a few times now and needed to match it for several customers–but to my knowledge it is not available in any memorial design software.
It’s a little difficult to tell from the image, but this appears to be a hand-drawn Common Gothic. All known versions of this font, including pre-digital letter sets had a notched numeral 1. But a Common Gothic font should match this very closely with minimal adjustments, including the MLC SKS Common Gothic: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/mlc-scotchkut-common-gothic/
This is one of the two Gerber versions of Bold Roman, which have square punctuation like this.
There is an MLC version available but the punctuation will not match up: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/mlc-signature-series-roman-bold-outline/
Hi Darren, what you’ve got there is one of the two Gerber versions of Bold Roman/Roman Bold. This is the thinner of the two, the other being quite a bit bolder. There are several versions available in various monument design software applications. I also have an MLC version available which is very close, but the punctuation will be quite different: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/mlc-signature-series-roman-bold-outline/
