Roman Regular

Roman Regular, most famously associated with the Times New Roman family, was originally commissioned by the British newspaper The Times in 1931. The project was supervised by Stanley Morison and drawn by Victor Lardent. The goal was to create a typeface with high legibility and a condensed structure that would allow the newspaper to fit more text per page without sacrificing readability.

Over the decades, Roman Regular has become the global standard for professional and academic typography. Its serif design features sharp, elegant strokes and a balanced weight, making it the primary choice for book publishing, legal documents, and official correspondence. It remains one of the most recognizable and widely distributed typefaces in the history of typography.
