Hello, this looks like custom Old English lettering. Reach out if you would like to use the Inscription Matching Service to match this lettering.
Hi Marc, this is Script MT/Monotype Script, but it looks like it was skewed to give it a little bit of an extra lean to it.
Hello, this is a Cochran’s software font called Roman Modified Script. It is based on lettering from an old 1923 Vermont Marble Company booklet named Lettering in Marble.
There are currently no TTF versions available. If you would like help matching it, feel free to use the Inscription Matching Service.
I believe this is Monu-Cad’s version of the Palatino font family, which they re-drew a bit thicker and re-named to Palatine.
Hi Eric, this font is named Academy Engraved. It’s possible someone added a slight stroke to thicken it up a bit for better sandblasting.
Good evening, this is a version of Garamond. It is possibly ITC Garamond, but there are several very similar versions.
Good afternoon, this is likely a hand-cut version. Possibly based on the metal Spacerite Modified Roman, but definitely made bolder by the stencil cutter. If you zoom in on the ‘E’s, and ‘1’s, and likely some other characters you can see differences in the serifs.
It will need to be custom matched. Feel free to use the Inscription Matching Service if you’d like any help with it.
Good afternoon, this is just Helvetica Condensed/Narrow Medium or Bold, but it has been modified to blast better at smaller sizes, and obviously they renamed it as well. The lowered crossbar on the A is the most noticeable difference, but also the crossbar on the 4 has been lowered as well. Likely any character that will have a small raised “island” when sandblasting has been modified. P, R, etc.
Hello Chris, this is custom lettering. If you would like help matching it, feel free to reach out about the MLC Inscription Matching Service.
Unfortunately this is an unknown stencil font. Because the marker appears to be custom made in concrete, it is possible that a non-standard alphabet was used–perhaps even a cement marking alphabet.
