Times New Roman Font

Linotype’s Times catalog lists Roman, Italic, Semibold and Bold with italic companions, plus a separately listed Phonetic resource. That named package is distinct from the Microsoft Times New Roman edition documented here. Shared historical context does not establish identical font files, character coverage or line widths.

Times New Roman first appeared in The Times of London in 1932. Victor Lardent made the original drawings under Stanley Morison’s direction, followed by further development in Monotype’s drawing office.

The official family entry provides the source account and the listed edition’s information. A broader family name may cover other releases; keep the exact version clear when comparing files or documenting a project.

Duplicate a realistic page containing a paragraph, italic phrase, bold heading, footnote and aligned numbers. Compare the intended Times and Times New Roman files at unchanged size and page settings. Inspect line breaks, footnote depth, table alignment and page count before making any corrective adjustments. Record each correction separately so the comparison remains interpretable.

The editable comparison specimens use Crimson Text and EB Garamond. These are independent designs selected for a related role or mood. They are not renamed copies, guaranteed metric replacements or claims of exact similarity to Times New Roman.

Start with the same wording and size in each specimen, then compare line length, counters, emphasis and overall texture. For a wider set of examples, explore the related style guide. Each alternative’s profile links to its own background and included license.

The local preview asks the browser to load a named face already on your device. If that cannot happen, the preview is unavailable; it does not silently present an alternative as Times New Roman. The control shows only the installed default face and does not expose every weight, optical design or OpenType feature.

Use the official family entry to investigate available editions, supplied products and acquisition routes. This site does not provide Times New Roman font files or promise a free redistribution license. Copying ordinary text does not carry a font into another app. Read typeface versus font and font file types when preparing an editable handoff.
