Font with open character that are normally closed

JimInWoodstock

I am looking for a font similar to the one in the image. I want to make wood signs with custom names. I need a font that has character like "a" "o" "e" "d", etc to have breaks in the letters. If you use a normal font, the middle of the letter will "fall out'" and the character will lose its details.

The font in your image is PoorRichard by Paul Hickson

The general font category you describe is "stencil fonts":
