Designed by Walter Huxley and released by ATF in 1935, with
alternate forms for ‘AKMNWY’. No lowercase.
There are various digitizations. OPTI’s has the alternates. So
does Diner (David Rakowski, 1992), which expands the
design into 4 weights. Bitstream’s
version (1987) and Aldous Vertical (Agfa Monotype, 1991) have
the round glyphs only. Huxley Vertical D (URW) is lighter and taller, with
scaled-down caps in the lowercase. It has both forms of ‘AKMNWY’,
but the round ones are included under unrelated codepoints.
Huxley Vert (Image Club) comes in
2 weights, with rounded terminals.
Both weights are accompanied by separate “Alt” fonts that have the
diagonal glyphs plus additional alternates (‘EFQRSX’).
Chrysler (HTF, 1991) is a loose
interpretation in 3 widths. Huxley Alt (HiH, 2005, expanded with
Huxley Amore and Huxley
Cyrillic in 2008) is a variation with lowercase and some
stroke contrast. Jeff Levine made various Art Deco variations
inspired by Huxley, incl. the seriffed
Whitehall JNL (2007), Hagemann More…
