Cheltenham ITC BQ Regular has a rich history dating back to 1896, when it was originally designed by the architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue and Ingalls Kimball. The typeface was later expanded and refined by Morris Fuller Benton for the American Type Founders (ATF). In 1975, Tony Stan redrawn the family for the International Typeface Corporation (ITC), which is the version most commonly used today. This iteration standardized the weights while maintaining the distinctive long ascenders and short descenders that define its unique silhouette.

Known for its exceptional legibility and robust character, Cheltenham became a staple of editorial design and was famously adopted by The New York Times for its headlines. Its high x-height and sturdy serifs allow it to remain clear even in demanding print conditions. As part of the Berthold (BQ) collection, this version ensures high-quality digital rendering for modern professional typesetting, making it a timeless choice for both traditional and contemporary layouts.
