In Latin script typography. roman is one of the three main kinds of historical type. alongside blackletter and italic. Roman type was modelled from a European scribal manuscript style of the 15th century. based on the pairing of inscriptional capitals used in ancient Rome with Carolingian minuscules developed in the Holy Roman Empire. [4]

During the early Renaissance. roman (in the form of Antiqua) and italic type were used separately. Today. roman and italic type are mixed. and most typefaces are composed of an upright roman style with an associated italic or oblique style.

Early roman typefaces show a variety of designs. for instance characters resembling what would now be considered blackletter. [5][6][7] Printers and typefounders such as Nicolas Jenson and Aldus Manutius in Venice and later Robert Estienne in France codified the modern characteristics of Roman type. for instance an 'h' with a nearly straight right leg. serifs on the outside of the capital 'M' and 'N'. and 'e' with level cross stroke. by the 1530s. [8][9]

The name roman is customarily applied uncapitalized distinguishing early Italian typefaces of the Renaissance period and most subsequent upright types based on them. in contrast to Roman letters dating from classical antiquity. [10][11]

Times New Roman is a serif typeface. It was commissioned by the British newspaper The Times in 1931 and conceived by Stanley Morison. the artistic adviser to the British branch of the printing equipment company Monotype. in collaboration with Victor Lardent. a lettering artist in The Times's advertising department. It has become one of the most popular typefaces of all time and is installed on most desktop computers.

Asked to advise on a redesign. Morison recommended that The Times change their text typeface from a spindly nineteenth-century face to a more robust. solid design. returning to traditions of printing from the eighteenth century and before. This matched a common trend in printing tastes of the period. Morison proposed an older Monotype typeface named Plantin as a basis for the design. and Times New Roman mostly matches Plantin's dimensions. The main change was that the contrast between strokes was enhanced to give a crisper image. The new design made its debut in The Times on 3 October 1932. After one year. the design was released for commercial sale. In Times New Roman's name. Roman is a reference to the regular or roman style (sometimes also called Antiqua). the first part of the Times New Roman family to be designed. Roman type has roots in Italian printing of the late 15th and early 16th centuries. but Times New Roman's design has no connection to Rome or to the Romans.

The Times stayed with Times New Roman for 40 years. but new production techniques and the format change from broadsheet to tabloid in 2004 have caused it to switch typeface five times from 1972 to 2007. However. all the new fonts have been variants of the original New Roman typeface.

However. Times New Roman modifies the Granjon influence further than Plantin due to features such as its 'a' and 'e'. with very large counters and apertures. its ball terminal detailing and an increased level of contrast between thick and thin strokes. so it has often been compared to fonts from the late eighteenth century. the so-called 'transitional' genre. in particular the Baskerville typeface of the 1750s. [17][18] Historian and sometime Monotype executive Allan Haley commented that compared to Plantin "serifs had been sharpened. . . contrast was increased and character curves were refined. " while Lawson described Times's higher-contrast crispness as having "a sparkle [Plantin] never achieved". [19][20] Other changes from Plantin include a straight-sided 'M' and 'W' with three upper terminals not Plantin's four. both choices that move away from the old-style model. [21]

Historical background[edit] During the nineteenth century. the standard roman types for general-purpose printing were "Modern" or Didone designs. [f] and these were standard in all newspaper printing. [37][38] Designs in the nineteenth-century style remain a common part of the aesthetic of newspaper printing. [g] According to Mosley and Williamson the modern-face used by The Times was Monotype's Series 7 or "Modern Extended". based on typefaces by Miller and Richard. [40][41][h]

The development of Times New Roman was relatively involved due to the lack of a specific pre-existing model – or perhaps a surfeit of possible choices. Morison wrote in a memo that he hoped for a design that would have relatively sharp serifs. matching the general design of the Times' previous font. but on a darker and more traditional basic structure. Bulked-up versions of Monotype's pre-existing but rather dainty Baskerville and Perpetua typefaces were considered for a basis. and the Legibility Group designs were also examined. (Perpetua. which Monotype had recently commissioned from sculptor Eric Gill at Morison's urging. is considered a 'transitional' design in aesthetic. although it does not revive any specific model. ) Walter Tracy. who knew Lardent. suggested in the 1980s that "Morison did not begin with a clear vision of the ultimate type. but felt his way along. "[49]

Walter Tracy and James Moran. who discussed the design's creation with Lardent in the 1960s. found that Lardent himself had little memory of exactly what material Morison gave him as a specimen to use to design the typeface. but he told Moran that he remembered working on the design from archive photographs of vintage type; he thought this was a book printed by Christophe Plantin. the sixteenth-century printer whose printing office the Plantin-Moretus Museum preserves and is named for. [50] Moran and Tracy suggested that this actually might have been the same specimen of type from the Plantin-Moretus Museum that Plantin had been based on. [51] (Although based on a type in the collection of the Museum. the typeface Plantin is actually based specifically on a Granjon font for which matrices (moulds) only arrived in the collection after Plantin's death. [9]) The sharpened serifs somewhat recall Perpetua. although Morison's stated reason for them was to provide continuity with the previous Didone design and the crispness associated with the Times' printing; he also cited as a reason that sharper serifs looked better after stereotyping or printed on a rotary press. [52] Although Morison may not have literally drawn the design. his influence on its concept was sufficient that he felt he could call it "my one effort at designing a font" in a letter to Daniel Berkeley Updike. a prominent American printing historian with whom he corresponded frequently. [k] Morison's several accounts of his reasoning in designing the concept of Times New Roman were somewhat contradictory and historians of printing have suggested that in practice they were mostly composed to rationalise his pre-existing aesthetic preferences: after Morison's death Allen Hutt went so far as to describe his unsigned 1936 article on the topic[3] as "rather odd…it can only be regarded as a piece of Morisonian mystification". [53]

Lardent's original drawings are according to Rhatigan lost. but photographs exist of his drawings. Rhatigan comments that Lardent's originals show "the spirit of the final type. but not the details. "[54] The design was adapted from Lardent's large drawings by the Monotype drawing office team in Salfords. Surrey. which worked out spacing and simplified some fine details. [49] Further changes were made after manufacturing began (the latter a difficult practice. since new punches and matrices had to be machined after each design change). [49]

Morison continued to develop a close connection with the Times that would last throughout his life. Morison edited the History of the Times from 1935 to 1952. and in the post-war period. at a time when Monotype effectively stopped developing new typefaces due to pressures of austerity. took a post as editor of the Times Literary Supplement which he held from 1945 to 1948. [55] Times New Roman remained Morison's only type design; he designed a type to be issued by the Bauer Type Foundry of Frankfurt but the project was abandoned due to the war. Morison's friend Brooke Crutchley recorded in his diary being told by Morison that the test type sent to him just before the war was sent to the government to be "analysed in order that we should know whether the Hun is hard up for lead or antimony or tin. "[52]

Metal type versions[edit] A large number of variants of Times were cut during the metal type period. in particular families of titling capitals for headlines. [56] Walter Tracy in Letters of Credit. Allen Hutt and others have discussed these extensively in their works on the family. [57][58][59]
