New Yorker Type Classic and Pro Font Family Free Download

New-Yorker-Type was one of the first typefaces I tried my hand at in 1985, I meant it as a revival of the typeface used by the New Yorker magazine, I did not scan it, I just looked at the type and redrew it completely by hand, Only much later did I come to know, that there is a bundle of similar typefaces of that period, Rea Irvin’s design for New-Yorker magazine was just one of them, maybe the best

In the next step I repaired some of the mistakes that I made more than thirty years ago, Now on the eve of 2020 I gave the font a complete overhaul and added a set of Swash Initials, Cyrillic and Greek glyphs and many ligatures, The font now has 1075 glyphs and is all set for most latin writing systems

On top of that I made two versions, a Classic one with rounded corners and a pointed Pro version for a more up-to-date look, Take your pick, Yours sincerely, honoring Rea Irvin a great type- and magazine-designer, Gert Wiescher
