Hello, this is an old plastic stencil press version of Modified Roman designed by Anthony Gaspari for the PALL Corporation in 1968.
The MLC has a digital version of it available here in the font shop: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/mlc-pall-canada-modified-roman/
Unsure of the exact font on this one. The only font I know of that is close is a free font called “Outlaw”.
Hello Richard, I believe this is a font called Latin 725. It also goes under the names Meridien and Frutiger Serif.
Hi Marc, this is a digital version of the plastic SKS Raised Modified Roman alphabet. However, it appears to have been modified quite a bit. The vertical bars are quite a bit wider and some of the numbers have been condensed quite a bit.
There are several known versions of this font available, including Nelson Roman from Cochrans Monumental Designer, and a version from the Drafting Shoppe, but none of them will match what is pictured here without some modifications.
The Monument Lettering Center also has a version available that is faithful to the original plastic alphabet: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/mlc-scotchkut-raised-modified-roman/
Hi John, this is the Spacerite Classic Roman, it originally came out in 1925 at the same time as the Spacerite company introduced their Modified Roman, but the Modified Roman quickly became much more popular.
This font is made more difficult to identify by the fact that the original font used—and the second date added to Margene’s side at a later date—are actually two different versions of Baskerville. This can be seen by looking at the two different ‘4’s used in Margene’s years of birth and death.
The original version is Baskerville ACCT AK Rev B in Gerber. I am unaware of any other version of this font outside of Gerber.
The March date added later appears to be Libre Baskerville.
This job will need to have a mixture of the two fonts in order to not be noticeably different.
This is a verison of Edwardian Script. However, the original by ITC does not seem to have the ball serifs at the end of the strokes, even though they are often shown in sample images of the typeface.
Hi John, I believe this is a Design Mart font available only for the Gerber Omega software. It is simply named “Script”, and can be purchased by contacting Design Mart. It is based on the print industry font “English 111 – Vivace”, but has been made bolder and the ‘S’ has been modified. It is possible there are other versions of the font under different names.
Just, kidding, this font is called Alcuin! The numbers are old-style numerals though, which is strange because I cannot find a version of the font that includes them.
Hi Torrey, unfortunately I am unable to track down this font, semi-serif fonts are pretty rare. However, it is very similar to a font called Areplos.
