- Middleton
-
- Middleton is an unabashed knockoff of Florentine, a display face
- created by R. Hunter Middleton, the former director of type
- design for Ludlow. During his lifetime, Middleton created some 90
- faces primarily for the advertising community, including the
- popular face Radiant. As far as I have been able to determine.
- Florentine is a registered trademark of T.J. Lyons, which in turn
- has licensed the face to a variety of vendors such as Linotype
- and VGC.

- Please be aware that I am still philosophically wrestling with
- the whole issue of font knockoffs, so grab the face now. If and
- when Florentine is released commercially, I may decide the pull
- the font off the boards.
