  Antiqua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antiqua is the traditional term for most kinds of roman typeface derived from the archetype designed by Nicholas Jenson circa 1470.
Also known as Venetian, antiqua types were the most common form of typeface for five centuries, from the mid 15th until the 20th, when sans serif or linear faces began to find favour in display, and eventually sustained text settings.
Antiqua's Germanic opposite is flletter, in which the letter forms are broken or fractured.

 Ars antiqua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ars antiqua is a term which refers to the music of Europe of the late Middle Ages between approximately 1170 and 1310, covering the period of the Notre Dame school of polyphony and the subsequent years which saw the early development of the motet.
The term ars antiqua is used in opposition to ars nova, which refers to the period of musical activity between approximately 1310 and 1375.
To Jacques, the ars antiqua was the musica modesta, and the ars nova was a musica lasciva—a kind of music which he considered to be indulgent, capricious, immodest, and sensual.
