R. H. Middleton's Mandate, Ludlow, 1934
Digitized by Bitstream as Freehand 521

Although Dieter Steffmann's fonts are still offered at Dafont, a close examination of many of them has disclosed that they are rips of digital creations by other font makers
Many years ago he disclosed that he took digital fonts and "improved" them by extending the character set to include accented characters, etc.

Kavaler Kursive works for me as a free version of Mandate. Mike Allard has a good reputation as an original fontmaker.
