Hello all! I need to do a plaque today and they have brought me a sample from a previous run which was done on a rotary type engraver. Anyone know what the name of the TT type font would be that looks like Times New Roman or the like, but is more of an outlined Times New Roman? My finger is getting sore from scrolling down on my font CD :)

I'd use Times New Roman then. Bold, no fill, hairline outline (or whatever seems suitable at the size).

If it's any consolation I spent ages looking for an outline times new roman font a couple of weeks ago. Took a while before the "hang on a moment..." inspiration came through.

If you need to get a little closer take a look at some of the Century fonts.

I also think you'll have to get closer to a .5 pt outline to replicate the diamond drag thickness.
