Unfortunately this font is unknown to the MLC. This is either a hand-drawn lettering style, or a very obscure sans-serif font.
Unfortunately not, it has very unique features. If you would like help matching the font, feel free to use the MLC Inscription Matching Service: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/cemetery-inscription-matching-service/
Hello Gordon, the font used here is Optima Black, though it appears to have been manually condensed in the design software.
Hello, the Monu-Cad font “Oslon” is based on custom lettering, and is currently available only in the Monu-Cad software. It was likely submitted by one of the early Monu-Cad customers, along with several of the other fonts currently available in the system.
This is a font in Monu-Cad called Flintstone. It is the only known digital version of the font. The original lettering it is based on is unknown, but it does not seem to be based on an existing print-industry font.
Yes, this appears to be a version of the SKS Double Outline with the outline removed. CGX Custom Graphix use to sell a digital version for Gerber, and there were likely others made as well.
The MLC has a version of the font available here: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/mlc-scotchkut-double-outline-medium-large/
The font in the photo above appears to be close to the 2″-3.5″ version.
Hi Randy, unfortunately, this is a tricky one. It is a version of Garamond Extra Bold, or at least it is based on Garamond.
Sabon Bold (not Sabon Next Bold) is maybe the closest, but it does not contain the same old-style numerals and there is no Extra Bold weight.
URW Garamond Extra Bold is somewhat close but it has a different ‘W’, ‘J’, and numerals.
Classical Garamond Bold is close, but again does not contain these numerals and there is no Extra Bold weight.
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/
