'''Times New Roman''' is a [[serif]] [[typeface]], produced by [[Monotype]] for [[Microsoft]], and distributed with every copy of [[Microsoft Windows]] since version 3.1. As with Times on the [[Apple Macintosh]], it is used as the default font in many [[application]]s, especially [[Web browser]]s and [[word processor]]s.

Times New Roman is Microsoft's name for the [[TrueType]] version of Times New Roman PS, a narrower variant of Monotype's classic Times New Roman typeface.
The PS version was introduced to match the metrics of Times Roman (a Postscript core font by [[Linotype]]). Times New Roman (the original typeface) was developed for the ''[[The Times|Times]]'' in the early 1930s, and was designed by Starling Burgess, Victor Lardent and Stanley Morison. Though no longer used by ''The Times'', it is still widely used for typesetting books (unlike the PS version).

In [[2004]], the U.S. State Department announced that as of [[February 1, 2004,
⏎
]], [[2004]], all US diplomatic documents would use Times New Roman 14 instead of
the previous [[Courier New]] 12.
