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.
Hi Torrey, I don’t currently cut and mail stencil, but if you’d like to use the inscription matching service I can work it up for you and email a digital file ready for plotting: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/cemetery-inscription-matching-service/
Hello Torrey, this is a very old style hand-drawn and hand-cut lettering. I don’t know of any digital fonts that will come close. I do have some old blueprint alphabets, and one of them has some similar features.
Hi John, yes, I can match this for you. I will just need to know the height of the letters and the info needed.
Hello John, this definitely looks hand-cut, and is nothing I’ve seen in any other cemetery before. It’s possible it was a local creation by an old shop in your area.
Thank you for sharing this! Do you know where this sheet came from and if there were other letter styles included? I have never seen this before, and I’d be very interested in finding out more about it.
Hello, this is an interesting one. It appears to be nearly identical to a font in Monu-Cad called “Bold Roman 1”. However, it seems to be a somewhat better version overall. While they both share the same weight, serif thickness, and a very narrow numeral ‘2’; the Monu-Cad version has an upside-down ‘S’, and a very strange ‘R’ with a leg that is rounded off and drags on slightly longer. This version of the font has either been corrected, or the two fonts were perhaps based on the same reference alphabet. I am unaware of any other software that contains a version of the font.
