APK TheNewRomantic
APK Type · Peter Korsman (Autograph), Maël Bächtold
A single-weight reworking of Times New Roman that adds chiselled, geometric detailing to the classic transitional framework, positioning it for headline and logo use.
About
Drawn on the Times New Roman skeleton, APK TheNewRomantic introduces angular, technically precise details that sit in deliberate tension with the pen-derived strokes of the original. The result retains the proportional legibility of Times while gaining a harder, more contemporary edge suited to display settings. At present it is offered in one weight, Regular, with broad Latin character coverage including extended diacritics and a full set of ligatures and fractions.
Classification
Built on the Times New Roman framework, making it a transitional serif by lineage, though the chiselled, geometric details push it toward display territory. The tension between calligraphic stroke origins and technical precision distinguishes it from a straight revival.
