    <title>Chippendale in use</title>
    <link>https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/142720/chippendale</link>
    <description>Chippendale in use. An all-caps face shown as Chippendale in Lettergraphics’ 1968, 1969 and 1976 catalogs. Based on an untitled capital alphabet shown in the second edition of Strong’s Book of Designs (1917). Castcraft had a version named Loki (“similar to Chippendale”). [Castcraft 1978]

Digital interpretations of the historical source include Key West (Kalynn Campbell for Roulette Studios, 2000) and MFC Petworth Monogram (Monogram Fonts Co., 2015, used for sample).</description>

This recording was performed by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residentie_Orchestra">Residentie Orchestra</a> (Hague Philharmonic Orchestra) together with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nederlands_Kamerkoor">Nederlands Kamerkoor</a>, conducted by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willem_van_Otterloo">Willem van Otterloo</a>. The record was released in the <a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://fontsinuse.com/tags/32874/philips-world-series" data-entity-code-id="32874" data-entity-code-type="Tag">Philips World Series</a>, featuring <a href="https://fontsinuse.com/tags/32874/philips-world-series">a logo in Binner</a>. Unfortunately, the cover design with the <a href="https://fontsinuse.com/tags/33350/rorschach-tests">Rorschach test</a>-like art in loud colors in uncredited.</p>

<p>The title is set in tightly spaced <strong><a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://fontsinuse.com/typefaces/142720/chippendale" data-entity-code-id="142720" data-entity-code-type="TypeEntity">Chippendale</a></strong>.

The design is several decades older, though: Chippendale is an adaptation of a capital alphabet designed by Detroit lettering artist <a target="_self" class="entity-link" href="https://fontsinuse.com/type_designers/5799/charles-jay-strong" data-entity-code-id="5799" data-entity-code-type="TypeDesigner">Charles Jay Strong</a> (1866–1910). It’s shown without name in the second edition of <cite><a href="http://archive.org/details/strongsbookofdes00stro/page/n179/mode/2up">Strong’s Book of Designs</a></cite> from 1917.
