Delphian is an all-caps display typeface created by R. Hunter Middleton in 1928[1] and published in metal by Ludlow. A digital version was issued by Monotype.[2] Delphian has a modern, yet classic style[3] and is notable for having no lower-case characters.[4] One website commented on Middleton's font, "His tour de force, Delphian Open Title, invokes that rare intellectual response, admiration."[5] It is rarely used today, except to evoke an art deco aura.
