Hello, this is a version of Modified Roman that has been manually stretched. It appears to be one of the Gerber Omega versions.
Hello Monica, this is a block-style font that has floated around the industry a bit. The DesignMart version does match what you have in your photos. If you have reached out to them I am sure you will hear back in time. There is also a version in the Gerber software named “MONUMENT BLOCK A.K. REV.C”.
Hello Monica, it is possible that this is a custom-drawn alphabet. In 1979 there were only a couple of block-style alphabets available to the industry in the form of plastic and metal letter sets, and this does not match any of them. You can also see that some of the letters vary significantly from line to line, meaning either several versions were used, or that it was all done by hand.
If you would like help matching the lettering, feel free to use the MLC Inscription Matching Service.
Hi Jill, this is an old plastic letter set created by the PMD company in Canada, for their Cutrite line of stencil press alphabets. It is named Condensed Polished Edge.
There are no known digital versions of the alphabet available, but the Monument Lettering Center has plans to create one in the future. If you would like help matching it, feel free to use the MLC Inscription Matching Service.
This is a font named Casualee Cursive. As far as I am aware it is currently only available in Gerber Omega.
Hi Chris, this is a font named Bold Roman, or Roman Bold. There are many versions, some of them outlined. This looks like one of two versions that are available in the Gerber Omega software, but the letters and numbers have been manually condensed. The punctuation appears to be untouched.
The MLC has a version of the font available, but there may be subtle differences including a slight difference in the weight of the font, which would need to be made slightly bolder with a stroke/outline added. Here’s a link to the font in the shop: MLC Signature Series Roman Bold
Hello, I believe this is a font in Monu-Cad called Fatbar Modified. I don’t think it comes standard with the software and may be custom.
Hi Richard, this is a font usually called Bold Roman or Roman Bold. There are many versions of it, with or without an outline.
This looks like one of the two versions available in Gerber.
There is also a version similar to this in the MLC font shop, here: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/mlc-signature-series-roman-bold-outline/
Hello, I’m not positive of the specific version of Modified Roman this is, but it does appear to be very similar to the Monu-Cad “Press Modified Roman”, with a different comma and ampersand.
It’s possible this is a custom version of the font.
Hello, I believe this is all custom lettering that has been hand drawn. Most characters are very close, but each ‘R’ seems to be slightly different.
Hello Chris, this is hand-drawn lettering. Inspired by the Art Deco movement, the style was introduced to the memorial industry in the late 1920s. Never becoming wildly popular it did see a slight resurgence in the 1960s and 70s with some Barre Guild firms.
It will need to be custom matched. If you would like help, feel free to use the MLC Inscription Matching Service.
