Hi!
Middleton is a typeface designed for use on Macintosh computers running
PostScript. The face was created using Fontographer 3.1 and is a hinted Type 1
font completely compatible with Adobe Type Manager.
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.
This font is being released as freeware to the typesetting community. However,
it can only be uploaded onto electronic bulletin boards with my permission. On
CompuServe, this font is exclusively found on the DTPFORUM -- under no
circumstances is this font to be loaded onto any other CIS forum.
Although a Type 1 font, Middleton does not utilize the standard Adobe encoding
layout in order to include some very nice alternate characters. The following
characters can be found on the font:
Option 5 (alternate A)
Shift Option = (alternate B)
Option , (alternate E)
Option . (alternate F)
Option d (alternate M)
Option w (alternate N)
Shift Option p (alternate O)
Option p (alternate P)
Option b (alternate R)
Option z (alternate S)
Option u (alternate e)
Option x (alternate o)
Option j (alternate v)
I also included an open ballot box under Shift-Option-2 just because I use them
so frequently.
Middleton is released in memory of Michael DeCrescente, the former general
manager of Characters Typographical Services, Inc., who died of cancer in 1989.
A contribution to the American Cancer Society is always appreciated.
Notification of any problems with the font or requests for its upload on other
bulletin boards can be made to:

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.
