Times New Roman is a classic serif typeface designed by Stanley Morison in 1931 under the direction of newspaper mogul Adolph Ochs for The Times of London.
Created for improved legibility in the narrow columns of The Times newspaper, it remains one of the most widely used faces for print and digital across books, newspapers, marketing communications and the web due to its efficient, spacious design.
Inspired by plantin and transitional old style typefaces of the 18th century, Times New Roman asserts a more modern feel with sharp, tapered serifs, strong horizontal stress and altered letter proportions to maximize capitalization and character density per line measure.
Offered with matching italics and various weights and widths, Times New Roman upholds principles of efficient letterpress publishing for extended reading balanced with economy of space through its intrinsic functionality and flexibility.
