Hello Kris, yes, this looks like someone created a digital version of the SKS Double Outline alphabet from the medium sizes (1.25″-1.75″) and used it for all of the lettering on the memorial, regardless of size.
The MLC version of the font should match this very closely, although there may be some differences, including the size and style of the punctuation.
Hi John, this is a version of Times (not Times New Roman). There are two versions that appear to match closely, with somewhat wider letters, including Times Ten and a font named Dutch 801.
Hi Darren, this is the old metal Spacerite Uncial Gothic alphabet. There is a digital version of it available in the MLC font shop, here.
This is definitely not something I’ve run into before, and looks like it actually may be custom hand-drawn lettering.
Hello, this is something I’ve never seen before, but it looks like it is a modified version of Common Gothic. I’ve seen Star Granite do some similar adjustments to the Helvetica font, lowering the crossbar on the ‘A’, as well as the counter of the ‘P’ and ‘R’ — so I would guess that this is a custom font from Star Granite.
The rest of the characters look the same as those in Common Gothic.
Ok, it looks like this is a free font named Prince Valiant. However, the lowercase ‘C’ has been used instead of the uppercase, but it has been enlarged and perhaps also vertically stretched. The type designer specialized in scanning and digitizing old fonts, so it is likely based on a different vintage typeface, perhaps with a different name.
I Paul, this appears to be custom hand-drawn lettering to me. Definitely not something I’ve run into before.
Unfortunately, this is something I’ve not run into before. I will do some searching and get back to you.
Hi Darren, this is a font available only in the Gerber software. It is named Jenson Medium.
