Design Publication: Times Modern Swash Research (2)

After finding lots of examples of Times Modern that had not been digitalised, I wanted to find the most unique to digitalise and use for headings, so below are some examples I came across: 

This example seems quite similar to Times, but has an interesting swash on the uppercase A, the same can be said for the alternatives for lowercase e and g:


The below examples shows difference against times, which show it as slightly more condensed, with a higher x-height: 


Modern Times black: This option seems to be missing quite a few characters, and obviously being a black weight is much heavier: 


Chosen Option

The option below seems to be completely different to anything else I have found. There is a much higher contrast, and appears to be a similar weight to the above option. The most obvious difference is the edition of vast selection of swashes. I feel this will be really fun to digitalise, and is by far the most unique option I have come across/
