TheAntiqua specimen from LucasFonts

A seven-weight oldstyle serif built for comfortable long-form reading rather than headline work.

About

TheAntiqua fills a gap the rest of the Thesis system leaves open: a proper text serif with medium contrast for immersive reading. Seven weights from Light to Black each carry real italics, and the character set stretches to Cyrillic and Greek.

Classification

A medium-contrast oldstyle built for long-form reading, named after the Dutch and German word for the oldstyle serif tradition.
