Talk:Antiqua (typeface class)

message: There's a lot of information missing on this page. Trying using our text book from class to help with history and definitions. Try and start the article with the origin of this typeface and how it came about. You could also make a small portion dedicated to the original users or creators of this typeface. You need to add in many more facts about this particular typeface. It also lacks organization

thread_title: Com232 Peer review

message: I don't really understand why that's tagged as needing a cite, since 'dispute' is linked to the article which describes the dispute.  Any objection to removing it?

thread_title:  Research Sources and Summary 

message: Some suggestions I can give are to list more designers that worked with antiqua types. There are probably more than Paul Renner and Hermann Zapf. Aside from that, you can try to write a little more on what exactly these typeface designers did (e.g what works they contributed to or made by using antiqua typefaces). Putting up images of some designs that have antiqua typefaces (if any exist) would be helpful. Check to see if there are also some contemporary/modern works that incorporate antiqua? Another thing you can work on is to write a little more on the origins of the typeface. --Rl081289 (talk) 20:03, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
