- Description
- Times New Roman is a classic serif typeface that originated from a collaboration between Stanley Morison and Victor Lardent in 1931. Commissioned by The Times, the design was inspired by the older Monotype typeface named Plantin, reflecting a trend towards more robust designs reminiscent of eighteenth-century printing traditions. The main distinction is an enhanced contrast between strokes for a crisper image. Due to its high x-height and short descenders, it's suitable for tight line spacing and works well in both print and digital media.
