With NY, the rhythm of о letters is more sparse, thinned than the rhythm of н letters’ - which in mixed contexts (last row) can result in some sort of unpleasant beating in your half-deflated spare wheel. The first conclusion on rhythm can be made judging by how two of its letters, н and о, behave in different situations: Like the line rhythm, accuracy of letter spacings, or balance and proportion of the characters. And the domain of images is a flimsy ground.īut any type has more objective parameters, which are of paramount importance and priority when it comes to say “yes” or “no” to a certain font. At first glance, New York’s image gives you a vague impression of being a child of a fornication liason of a Scottish Georgia with a modern Dutch serif. And it is not just Cyrillic - where I clearly have a number of conventional questions to ask, - but the Latin alphabet as well. I was really upset by the New York font’s release. All the others have to carefully read the license before using a new font in their projects (Apple’s licensing terms do limit use of the font to mockups of user interfaces for iOS, macOS, tvOS, or watchOS - Editor). Now, iOS developers can choose between San Francisco and New York. If you ask me, a huge win for the company, and developers. Fits perfectly in the Apple system environment. Apart from its Дд, Цц, Щщ serifs, nothing to complain about.

It is an excellent system font: easy to read, well developed, reasonably modern, with its own personality - it’s new, but not in a brazen kind of way.
