This is a font called Egyptienne 505 Bold, though it looks like it may have been manually condensed.
This appears to be a digital version of the Classic Roman alphabet. I’ve never seen this exact version before, but it is very similar to the Spacerite Classic Roman, which contains the spur on the ‘G’ as on your rubbing. However, not all of the characters match the Spacerite version, including the ‘M’, ‘A’, 2, and zero–which are all more similar to the Spacerite Modified Roman alphabet. It is possible this is a custom digital version where some changes have been made.
Here is a link to the MLC’s version of the Spacerite Classic Roman: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/mlc-spacerite-classic-roman/
Hello Jill, this is a version of Bookman called Bookman Old Style: https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/mti/bookman-old-style/std-roman/
Hi Brian, this is a font called Le Griffe: https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/itc/le-griffe/
This appears to be a slightly modified SKS Double Outline (without the second outline). Slightly bolder than the traditional Modified or Classic Roman, it appears that some of the spurs may have been manually cut off, which are present on the numeral ‘1’, ‘2’, and ‘4’ of the original alphabet. The numeral ‘4’ is the giveaway when identifying this alphabet, with the serif on the crossbar being so tight up against the stem.
Hello Rosa, there are two versions of the Double Outline that have this style 9 (and 6). The original Double Outline font was created by the Spacerite company at a metal alphabet and this is likely the Spacerite version. Unfortunately, there is no digital version of the font currently available. The characters changed quite a bit at different sizes, so it is a difficult font to make, as many versions will need to be made in order to match the font at all sizes. However, there will be an MLC version completed hopefully in the next 3 to 6 months.
There was also a plastic stencil press alphabet released at some point to mimic the Spacerite Double Outline, but it is exceedingly rare and which company produced it is unknown. Other plastic Double Outline alphabets had 6s and 9s that connected back in to the themeselves instead of leaving a gap.
Hello Randy, sorry for the delay. This is a font called Smith SIP and is currently only available in the Monu-Cad software.
This is a font called “Modern”, introduced to the AICA as an alphabet blueprint by AICA member Haywood Ellis in the 1960s.
There is a version of the font in Monu-Cad under the correct name, and there is a version available for Gerber called “Tacky”, created by CGX: http://cgxmonumentshop.com
There are currently no versions of the font available in the standard font formats, but there will be an MLC version at some point in the future.
Hi Jill, no, Remod is a custom version of the AICA-25 font created by Remco Memorials and cannot be purchased. There is currently no version of the font available to non-AICA members.
Hello Jill, this appears to be the font “AICA-25”. See this post for more information: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/forums/topic/remod-aica-font/
The name appears to be a version of Times New Roman and the dates in Times New Roman Bold. However, there seem to be some slight variations pointing to the possibility that this may be a proprietary version created for a specific design software.
Hello Renee, this is a font called Times Roman in Monu-Cad. There was also a version of it available in the Craftech software, and called “Century”. The uppercase is Times Roman Bold, and the lowercase is just regular Times Roman. The numbers are very strange and are neither Century nor Times. Unfortunately, there is no version of the font available for purchase outside of those two systems (Craftech is no longer available).
