I've used papyrus but maybe the font here is just typed wrong or something regardless I couldn't figure out how to get the font they wanted.

I believe this font would need to be imported. Do you want to provide a copy of your existing code for us to see, as this might help to better understand the issue you're experiencing.
W3S provides a list of the current websafe fonts: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_websafe_fonts.asp
