HWT Tuscan Extended is an exercise in exuberance: bifurcated terminals, stem spikes, crossbars, and that ampersand… oh my! There are some relatively simple letters (o, c, s), but ornamentation is otherwise omnipresent, especially in the w, x, and z. At least four different versions of this 19th-century typeface were made, so designer Frank Grießhammer had a lot of material to work with as he expanded the character set so Tuscan Extended would function in a modern, multi-lingual world.
