Apex New supersedes Apex Sans, which was originally released in early 2003. Once the design was released, Chester started work on Apex Serif, Thirstype's first OpenType font family; he returned to Apex Sans in early 2004, with a view to extending the glyphset and combining the Small Caps and numeral sets into OpenType fonts. As he worked, he started seeing the type's flaws, and set about fixing them. Two years later, Apex New was finished. All weights of the type have been revised, and everything heavier than Book has been completely redrawn. The bold weights which had previously "closed up", especially at smaller sizes, are now more open with subtle contrast; the new version has been described as "elegant". The family has grown to seven weights, with over a thousand glyphs in each font. The font files are cross-platform CFF-flavoured OpenType, with loads of basic and advanced features. Grateful thanks and acknowledgment for guidance and assistance are due to: Tracy Jenkins, Christian Schwartz, Karsten Luecke, Adam Twardoch, Jacob Øvergaard, Martin Turzík, Oscar Bjarnason, and Adam Pituła. *Version history* V1.0 - Initial release version; 2006.01 true 2009-09-21T21:49:12Z Thirstype, Chester Jenkins false 8 image/gif 01_ApexNew_cart_family.gif 682 2009-11-02T02:50:25Z image/gif 03_ApexNew_cart_pairs.gif 705 2009-11-02T02:50:25Z image/gif 02_ApexNew_cart_sets.gif 563 2009-11-02T02:50:25Z image/gif 04_ApexNew_cart_singles.gif 1150 2009-11-02T02:50:25Z 40 image/gif ApexNew1.gif 1894 image/gif ApexNew2.gif 3626 2009-12-22T22:02:25Z 2009-12-24T04:45:31Z *ISO 8859-1* *Latin1* Afrikaans, Albanian, Basque, Breton, Catalan, Danish, English (UK and US), Faroese, Galician, German, Icelandic, Irish (new orthography), Italian, Kurdish (The Kurdish Unified Alphabet), Latin (basic classical orthography), Leonese, Luxembourgish (basic classical orthography), Norwegian (Bokmål and Nynorsk), Occitan, Portuguese (Portuguese and Brazilian), Rhaeto-Romanic, Scottish Gaelic, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Walloon *ISO 8859-2* *Latin2* Bosnian, Croatian, Czech, German, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian (when in the Latin script), Slovak, Slovene, Upper Sorbian, and Lower Sorbian. *ISO 8859-3* *Latin3* Esperanto, Maltese, Turkish *ISO 8859-4* *Latin4* Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Greenlandic, Sami *ISO 8859-9* *Latin5* Turkish *ISO 8859-10* *Latin6* Nordic languages Apex New application/pdf vllg_ApexNew.pdf 1860717 image/gif ApexNew_pdf.gif 9193 2009-12-25T02:09:37Z 2009-12-03T16:56:36Z 1 image/gif ApexNew_Waterfall_01.gif 48216 2009-12-16T14:50:37Z Apex_New 2009-12-25T02:09:38Z 1.0 ♥ image/gif ApexNew_weights.gif 51783 2009-12-14T00:56:42Z 2006
