Hi Chris, this looks like a hand-drawn version of Garamond. Unfortunately, there are dozens of different versions of Garamond, and it appears as if this one was modified quite a bit, so nailing down a close version might be difficult. The ‘7’ for instance has a serif at the base, which I’ve never seen on any version of Garamond before.
Well, this one has me stumped. I can tell you that it is likely not a standard font in any monument design software. It is likely a custom font, possibly created by a manufacturer or retail shop.
Hi Paul, yes, go ahead and put in the order: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/cemetery-inscription-matching-service/
Hi Paul, this is the old metal Spacerite Double Outline alphabet. Unfortunately, there are currently no digital versions available.
The MLC has one in the works, but I’m still trying to track down sets of the metal letters at certain sizes, since this alphabet changed quite a bit depending on the size.
Hello, this is a slightly bolder version of the AICA-25 font, originally a blueprint alphabet created by one of the AICA association members. You can reach out to your nearest AICA member for help, or if you’d like to use the MLC Inscription Matching Service, you can find more information here: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/cemetery-inscription-matching-service/
Hello, this is a font called Lucida Handwriting. However, it looks like it has been hand-drawn so there may be some slight differences.
Hi Brian, unfortunately, this isn’t something I recognize. It looks to me like it may be custom lettering.
Hi Aubrey, I believe this is a font from the Anagraph Design Art software named Athletic Script. Unfortunately, the software is no longer available.
There are other similar fonts available in other industry software, but there are some major differences, including very different numbers.
You can use the Inscription Matching Service if you’d like help matching it.
Hello, this is a Monu-Cad font, which is based on an old metal Spacerite alphabet named Scriptural Art. The Monu-Cad font is named GM Script.

Hello, this is a memorial industry version of Times New Roman called Monument Times New Roman. There are some significant differences including the numbers and the ‘J’.

Hello, the top font is Monu-Cad’s “European”, and the bottom font is Gerber’s “Jenson” font but it appears to have been manually squeezed.
If you do not have either the Monu-Cad or Gerber software and would like help matching these fonts, feel free to use the Inscription Matching Service.
