Free Fonts: Font Exchange Program
Would you like to receive free monument fonts? The MLC is collecting lettering equipment for use in making historically accurate fonts and is interested in trading used lettering equipment or documents for copies of MLC fonts. In some cases, partial or broken letter sets may still apply for the font exchange program. For any fonts that the MLC still needs to build, a free copy may be given to you in exchange for any resources that you supply. Please contact the MLC for details. The MLC may also be interested in purchasing lettering sets or plates. If you have any equipment that you are no longer utilizing, please contact the MLC.

The MLC scans in documents using a high capacity feeder and utilizes OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to create a searchable pdf document in minutes.
