'''Times New Roman''' is a [[serif]] [[typeface]] commissioned by ''[[The Times]]'' ([[London]]) newspaper in [[1931]] and designed by [[Stanley Morison]] together with Starling Burgess and Victor Lardent. It was commissioned to address the problems of high-speed printing on low quality newsprint. It was first issued by the [[Monotype Corporation]] in [[1932]]. Although no longer used by ''The Times,'' it is still widely used for book typography.

Because of its ubiquitous nature, Times New Roman has been influential in the subsequent development of a number of serif typefaces both before and after the start of the digital-font era.  One notable example is [[Georgia (typeface)|Georgia]], shown at right, which has very similar stroke shapes to Times New Roman but wider serifs.
