The font used for the years appears to be Palatino Bold Italic.
The other one took quite a bit of digging. The font for the names appears to be Chaparral, and the information below is the same font in italic. However, there are several variations of the font (Regular, Caption, Subhead, and Display). Without closer photos, it is difficult to tell which version was used for this memorial.
Hi Richard, this is a version of Times New Roman only available in Gerber. It has bolder serifs and is more condensed than a typical version of Times.
Yes, it is a free font called “Great Vibes”, which can be downloaded here: https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/great-vibes
Yes, I’ll just need to know the distance from the bottom of the first/last letters (both are ‘S’), to the bottom of the highest letter, which looks like it’s the ‘E’ in Schley.
Or a scan of a rubbing of that section of the marker will give me the info I need.
Hi Jill, this is a font named “Lydia” which was available only in the old Craftech software, which is a modified version of the original font “Lydian”.
There are some smaller changes to many letters, but the longer crossbar on the ‘G’ is the most noticeable difference.
Hi Jill, unfortunately I have been unable to track down the exact font, the closest font I know of is Iowan Old Style Bold Italic, but there are differences.
Hi John, yes, I can match any type of lettering you can find–including custom calligraphy–with any kind of outline style.
Hi John, this is just a hand-drawn version of Common Gothic. No digital version will match it terribly closely, but it could be a good starting point.
Hello Jill, unfortunately I’ll need more detail to confirm the font on this memorial, so a better photo would be helpful.
Hello John, I believe this is a version of Univers 57. It may go under a different name depending on the software.
Hello Brian, this looks familiar, but I can’t currently remember the name. I’ll have to do some digging and get back to you. Definitely not a common font.
