Can anyone help me identify this typestyle? Client took a rubbing of a tombstone and needs to match the type. Closest I can get is the "Americana" family, but my Americana has "thick/thin" strokes. This one has a more consistent stroke width.

Also note, depending how old that tombstone is, you may not find a digital font that matches. Today's digital fonts are primarily based on historic printing typefaces, not so much on engraving styles (they used to be two entirely separate things, of course).

If you can't find a tombstone font, your best option might be this service from the Monument Lettering Center. They also have some fonts for sale that might match.

Thank you for your help shoresigns! Client doesn't have the funds to pay the original monument/memorial company to engrave/blast the date of death, so he's looking for a stencil so he can engrave it himself. :(
