Lass mich das für Dich googeln, da findet sich doch glatt :?

Typo Upright is a font from Bitstream library. A faithful reproduction of the common French Ronde of nineteenth century; the design originates at the Inland Typefoundry in St. Louis as French Script and was revised by Morris Fuller Benton in 1905 and made popular by ATF (Anm. d. Redaktion: American Type Founders) under the name Typo Upright.

Mehr zu Morris Fuller Benton gibt es z.B. beim Klingspor Museum. Und zur Inland Typefoundry ... http://tinyurl.com/dxzhd6. Das bringt Dich dann hierzu:

Inland French Script or simply French Script. Mayeur (Paris) cut several upright connected types based on 19th century engravings. BB&S had its own versions of this, like Wedding Plate Script and French Plate Script, the latter being a 1904 creation of Sidney Gaunt not unlike Typo Upright. Inland Franch Script was patented by William Schraubstadter, and later listed by ATF. Douglas C. McMurtrie, in his book Type Designs, calls this one of the finest script types ever produced.
