New Yorker Plus Font Family was designed by Gert Wiescher and published by Wiescher Design. New Yorker Plus contains 10 styles and family package options. NewYorker 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 in, I just looked at the type and redrew it completely by hand. So it is not just a copy, but rather a redesign. 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, but the best. Lately I looked at the fonts and found, that they should be worked over, what I did. I added a Swashes set for each weight and generally cleaned up the design. Plus I made the complete Latin set, so that all European countries can use it. (Except for the Greeks and Russians, sorry!) Yours, sincerely once more honoring Rea Irvin, a great type- and magazine-designer. Gert Wiescher
