Brit.

/anˈtiːkvə/, U.S.

/ænˈtik(w)ə/,

/ænˈtikvə/

Forms: also with capital initial.

Origin: A borrowing from German. Etymon: German Antiqua.

Etymology: < German Antiqua roman type (1573), a clear, rounded, upright roman script (1553) < post-classical Latin antiqua (a1522 with reference to various roman scripts, with multiple distinguishing epithets, in a text from Augsburg), use as noun (short for littera antiqua ) of feminine of classical Latin antiquus antique adj. Compare Italian antiqua (1534) and lettera antiqua (1524), both with reference to roman script.The humanist typeface (see humanist adj. 3b), first used for the earliest printed books in Italy, is modelled on the humanist minuscule of the 15th cent., which is in turn based on the Carolingian minuscule used in MSS of classical and learned authors; humanist authors used Latin litterae antiquae (plural) of their own minuscule by 1425, and of its model by 1406; and the phrase is used already in classical Latin to denote old-fashioned letters. Compare the following earlier example of German Antiqua in an English context:1755 J. Smith Printer's Gram. i. 4 The Germans..differ with us here, in calling all those sizes of letter Antiqua, which we, as well as the French, and other printing nations, comprehend under the name of Roman.

A form of lettering or type characterized by simple, upright, rounded letterforms; roman lettering or type, esp. as distinguished from black letter (black letter n. 1); (also) a typeface of this kind. Cf. Roman n.¹ 4.Typically in German contexts, esp. with reference to the move to using roman or humanist (Antiqua) styles of type rather than traditional gothic or black letter (Fraktur) typefaces.Also in the names of particular typefaces.
