Times New Roman Windows compatible Font Family was designed by Stanley Morison, Victor Lardent and published by Monotype. Times New Roman Windows compatible contains 4 styles and family package options. In 1931, The Times of London commissioned a new text type design from Stanley Morison and the Monotype Corporation, after Morison had written an article criticizing The Times for being badly printed and typographically behind the times. The new design was supervised by Stanley Morison and drawn by Victor Lardent, an artist from the advertising department of The Times. Morison used an older typeface, Plantin, as the basis for his design, but made revisions for legibility and economy of space (always important concerns for newspapers). As the old type used by the newspaper had been called Times Old Roman,” Morison’s revision became “Times New Roman.” The Times of London debuted the new typeface in October 1932, and after one year the design was released for commercial sale.
