Tuscan style typeface is a display font that was designed specifically for posters and display environments, headline, logotype, branding, and similar applications demanding high visual impact. The font combines highly detailed, organic shapes with a flavor of Baroque and Rococo influences.

Tuscan style is characterized by contrasted strokes with bi- or trifurcated serifs. The tuscan bifurcated or fishtailed serifs have an ancient history from the days of the roman empire and it is taught to suggest the tail of a fish - the fish being an early christian symbol.

This typeface is based on a scan from “Épreuves des Carácters & Vignettes” by Charles Derriey, 1839 Paris from “Type, A Visual History of Typefaces and Graphic Styles” by Taschen.

Tuscan style typeface is still work in progress and is currently on Kickstarter for financing the completion of this project. The font will have more than 700 characters supporting all Western, Central and Eastern European languages and if funding is successful the font will also include Cyrillic characters for all Slavic languages. Also, the font will also include many OpenType features such as: case sensitive forms, small caps, stylistic alternates, swashes, historical ligatures, standard ligatures, discretionary ligatures, slash zero, ordinals, scientific superiors and inferiors, numerators and denominators, fractions and arrows.
