Daniel Berkeley Updike seems to have stimulated the architect Bertram G. Goodhue to design the prototype in 1896 for Ingalls Kimball at the Cheltenham Press. Six years later Morris Fuller Benton at ATF developed it into the design and then the series that we know today.Owing to certain eccentricities of form, writes Updike, it cannot be read comfortably for any length of time. But he concludes: It is, however, an exceedingly handsome letter for ephemeral printing. Mergenthaler bought composing machine rights to the original design c.1896, but bought the Benton design in 1904.

This set of initial letters was inspired from French renaissance decorated letters. It is a typical pattern, one among dozen quite similar, but this one was in use in Paris, unchanged, for centuries, and was still in use in the beginning of 1900s.
This explains the difference between I and J, U and V. These characters were engraved years after the original set.
Our font was inspired from a late 1800s publication. It can be used as well with Humane fonts (like our 1543 Humane Janson or 1592 GLC Garamond) as with modern fonts like our 1820 Modern or 1906 French News.

Chef Script is an experimental font designed by Carlos Fabian Camargo G. Its fantasy design contains 1463 glyphs to compose words, phrases and short messages on small and large sizes. The idea was born in a sketchbook that was perfected again by hand and achieving "non-neutral drawings" on tracing paper.

In that sense, Chef Script is influenced by Speedball lettering manual (1957), Ross F. George. The illustrative nature of "ChefScript-complete" does not look anything like the traditional type design hierarchies.
Therefore offers 7 hierarchical resource groups to design comfortable contexts flavored with illustration and typography:
Thus its letters have ascenders and descenders strokes perpendicular to its base line and equal to the height of the lowercase.
