SwissTime specimen from Newglyph

A Times-derived transitional serif by Ian Party, offered in 12 styles with variable font support across weight and italic axes.

About

Drawing directly from the Times tradition, SwissTime pairs the familiar structure of moderate stroke contrast and bracketed serifs with a broad Latin Extended glyph set of 397 characters per style. The family ships as 12 static styles alongside two variable fonts covering weight and italic, making it adaptable for both print and screen editorial contexts. Language coverage spans a wide range of Latin-based scripts from Afrikaans to Zulu.

Classification

SwissTime draws directly from the Times lineage, a quintessential transitional serif characterised by moderate contrast, bracketed serifs and upright roman posture. The reference to Times' precision and elegance places it firmly within that category.
