The MLC Modified Roman Sans Signature Series font shares the same geometry as the Spacerite Modified Roman alphabet but contains no serifs. This style was common in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, specifically on headstones created by Delano Granite Works and the Barre Guild of monument makers, though other manufacturers and independent shops also used the style. These manufacturers used the Spacerite letters as a starting point but clipped the serifs off of the letters and numbers to create a sans-serif variation in the sandblast stencil. Three variations of ‘R’ are common to find in the cemetery, so the MLC has included them as alternates in software which supports OpenType features. A second ‘W’ has also been included which was based on the alternate available in the Spacerite Modified Roman.
