Alpha Midnight was digitized by Nick Curtis as Mister Bones NF (Nick's Fonts, 2011, incl. the alternates, used for sample), “reconstructed from an unnamed source by Dick Pape for Solotype”, and by Alan Prescott as APT New Alpha Midnight (1996, no alternates). ThisEndUp (Silver Graphics, 1995) is an interpretation of Alpha Twilight, with an added lowercase derived from some of the alternates.
