Times New Roman Font The most current version of this certain font style is Times New Roman and it is a serif typeface. That is why The Times in 1931 launched a competition which was designed by Stanley Morison, Monotype’s adviser for British branch of printing equipment company, together with the lettering artist for the paper’s advertising section Victor Lardent. It has become perhaps the most widely used typeface of all time and is currently running on the most individual computers.
Requested to provide suggestion for redesign, Morison suggested to The Times to change their text typeface from slender nineteenth-century to fuller type, going back to the traditions of eighteenth-century and before. This corresponded to a typical pattern of the preference in the type of printing in the 19th century.
Morison suggested using an older Monotype typeface called Plantin as a basis and the Times New Roman approximates Plantin’s dimensions exactly.
