Antica specimen from Sudtipos

A sharp triangular-serif Latin face pushed across eight weights, from thin to black, with true italics.

About

Nineteenth-century Latin types traditionally came in a single weight, so Antica extends the wedge-serif form across a full range from thin to black, adding swashes, small caps and stylistic alternates the originals never had. The foundry aims it at stylised labels and formal editorial work alike.

Classification

Sharp triangular serifs place it in the nineteenth-century Latin/wedge-serif tradition rather than a bracketed old-style or transitional serif.
