neoteric
Of fresh vintage
Neoteric means new, modern, or recently invented—used of ideas, methods, or styles that depart from tradition.
The word is rare and literary, more likely found in academic writing than casual speech: neoteric approaches to urban planning, a neoteric interpretation of classical themes.
Someone called a neoteric favors innovation over established ways.
