Typo Upright

Typo Upright is a ronde style upright script that originated from the Inland Type Foundry as French Script.

MacMcGrew: Typo Upright is Morris Benton's interpretation in 1905 of a popular style of vertical French Script, introduced by ATF as Tiffany Upright. It is the only such design suitable for adaptation to keyboard slug casting, and is called Lino Script and Interscript by the two leaders in that field. There is also Typo Upright Bold and Typo Shaded, both recorded as being designed by Benton in 1906, but only the latter is noted as having the Tiffany name originally. These two typefaces are adaptations of the Typo Upright design. Finally there is Typo Slope, a sharply inclined version of the same design; it is credited to Benton in 1905, originally as Tiffany Slope. The lowercase of this typeface is more nearly a conventional script, while the caps show the French influence. Typo Upright was copied by Western as Society Script. Also see French Plate Script.

Stephenson Blake's version of this design is Parisian Ronde.

Typo Upright is also known as French Script, Interscript, Kaylin Script and Linoscript. Digital versions include French Script (Monotype), Typo Upright (Bitstream), Linoscript (Adobe), and Ronde Script (2012, Group Type).
