"Antique-looking" wan't bad ("Antiquated" is old and useless,
"antique" is old and valuable).  I was thinking "classical", but
in Japan that means pre-1185, so yes, "Meiji-era" (or "Edo-era",
depending on the exact date, or "historical" if we don't know).
But no need to call it calligraphy - that style's roughly what
"Minchō" means (see "http://www.sljfaq.org/w/Minch%C5%8D";).

So would that make it:

        Meiji-era Japanese TrueType Minchō font

Or does it have to be ASCII?
