The hinting of Times Newer Roman is completely different, a lot fuzzier, and leads to inconsistent letter heights. On Linux (with TTF bytecode enabled) I can easily see the difference at their sample "side-by-side comparison". Maybe not on Mac. Additionally the x-height of Newer feels larger. Upon reading the page, I learned: "The x–height (2) of all lowercase letters has been increased by about 5% so that they sit wider at the same point size." Times Newer Roman is basically the same thing as STIX Two Text.
