Antiqua
Antiqua, also known as Latin or serif typeface, refers to a style of font characterized by its elegant, formal appearance with small projecting lines or "serifs" at the ends of strokes. Originating in the Renaissance period, Antiqua fonts are often used for books, print materials, and formal documents because of their readability and classic, timeless look. They contrast with sans-serif fonts, which lack these decorative strokes. Antiqua fonts evoke a sense of tradition and professionalism, making them popular choices for contexts that require a refined and authoritative appearance.
