乍看之下，Burgstaedt Antiqua像是一款老式的打字机字体，又或者像是一款完全出错的打字机所打印的字体！只有再次浏览后，您才会看到这种字体的真正含义——-一款全新的文本字体。值得特别注意的是Burgstaedt Antiqua及其斜体有几个特点：首先，字母尾端的样式在整个字母表中有所不同。这使Burgstaedt Antiqua的文本略带抖动感。第二个有趣的特征是小写字母“q”，其字形就是缩小后的大写字母“Q”。
Burgstaedt Antiqua Regular和Burgstaedt Antiqua Italic既可以用做文本也可以用作标题。为了在文本中使用，我们建议使用稍大的磅值（12pt或14pt及以上）。英国设计师Richard Yeend于2002年设计了这个字体家族。

At first glance, Burgstaedt Antiqua looks like an old typewriter face, or rather like a typeface from a typewriter that has gone hopelessly wrong! Only after your second glance will you see this font for what it really is - a thoroughly new text face. Several features of Burgstaedt Antiqua, and its companion italic face, are worth special attention: First, the terminal styles of the letters vary throughout the alphabet. This gives text set in Burgstaedt Antiqua a slightly jittery feeling. A second interesting feature is the lowercase q", which takes the form of a shrunken-down uppercase "Q". Burgstaedt Antiqua Regular and Burgstaedt Antiqua Italic may be used in both text and headlines. For use in text, we recommend employing a slightly larger point size (12 pt or 14 pt and above). British designer Richard Yeend designed this family in 2002.
