Why you should consider Times New Roman

Commissioned by The Times of London in 1931 and brought to life by Stanley Morison and Victor Lardent at Monotype, Times New Roman combines a traditional serif structure with refined details for exceptional readability. Its balanced stroke contrast and moderate serifs create a formal yet approachable tone, making it a dependable choice for body text. Offered in 12 styles, including condensed options, it adapts well across print and screen applications.

Visual character

Times New Roman showcases a medium stroke contrast that enhances clarity without sacrificing warmth, paired with open counters and a moderate x-height that supports legibility at small sizes. The serif terminals are tapered yet substantial, grounding the letterforms while allowing efficient horizontal space use, especially evident in the condensed styles. Its proportions are traditional but subtly optimized for the page, reflecting its origin in newspaper typography.
