Announcing the release of Apex New, which replaces Apex Sans. After the publication of Apex Serif, Thirstype's first OpenType font family, Chester returned to Apex Sans with a view to extending the glyphset and combining the Small Caps and numeral sets into OpenType fonts. As he worked, Chester started seeing the type's flaws, and set about fixing them.
All weights of the type have been revised, and everything heavier than Book has been completely redrawn. The bold weights had previously "closed up", especially at smaller sizes; the heavy weights 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 shipped solely as cross-platform CFF-flavoured OpenType, with loads of basic and advanced features.

Those who have purchased Apex Sans packages from vllg.com or Thirstype.com can purchase upgrades for a small price: US$25 for those who had purchased the full family, and US$49 for those who purchased the Roman+Italic package. (Have your original order # on hand; you'll need it to order an upgrade.)
