History

Times Roman was originally created by Stanley Morison for the British newspaper The Times in the early 1930’s. After criticizing the newspaper for its poor legibility, Morison was then commiss- ioned to produce a better typeface that was easier to read. Victor Laurent, an draftsman at the Times, is credited as the artist who drew the letter-forms, although there is speculation that he was the app- ropriate credit. Morison used an older font named Plantin as the basis for his design, but made revisions for legibility and economy of space.

Times New Roman has reached ubiquity in the digital medium, since Microsoft has included it as a default typeface for its Windows operating system, since version 3.1 in the early 1990’s.

Stanley Morison

Stanley Morison (6 May 1889—11 October 1967) was an English typographer, designer and historian of printing.

From 1923 to 1967 Morison was the typographic advisor for the Monotype Corporation. In the 1920s and 1930s, his work at Monotype included research and adaptation of historic typefaces, including the revival of the Baskerville and Bembo types. He pioneered the great expansion of the company’s range of typefaces and hugely influenced the field of typography to the present day.
