Initially issued in 1905 as Tiffany Upright.
Renamed before ATF’s 1912 catalog.
“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.” [McGrew 1993]
