Not that I know of.
But I suppose you could pick one of these and add the frills:

who owns Huxley?
Kingsley/ATF, apparently:

OK, I guess I'm OK doing my own version. In case
you're wondering what-the-hell-is-he-thinking: the
other day it hit me that it evokes Armenian (thanks
to its basis on the arch shape), and if it was extended
with the Armenian alphabet...
One resultant question: would anybody hazard a
guess as to which version is the most widespread?

Not absolutely indicative, but, here’s a list sorted by number of sales:

There seems to be tons of Huxley's free up for grabs wide across the interwebs. So who knows which cut has become Huxley for the commoner.
The only cut I enjoy is the one with the original capital k - Huxley Vertical D
The only reason I call it the 'original' is because that is one featured in my sample book from '74.
