Times 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 at the English branch of Monotype. 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 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, shown at right, which has very similar stroke shapes to Times New Roman but wider serifs.

A version of Times Roman was produced by Monotype for Microsoft, called Times New Roman, and distributed with every copy of Microsoft Windows since version 3.1. As with Times on the Apple Macintosh, it is used as the default font in many applications, especially web browsers and word processors. Microsoft has however replaced Times New Roman with Calibri, a sans-serif font, as the default font in Microsoft Office 2007. [1]

Times New Roman is Microsoft's name for the TrueType version of Times New Roman PS, a narrower variant of Monotype's classic Times New Roman typeface. The PS version was introduced to match the metrics of Times Roman (a PostScript core font by Linotype). It has the lighter capitals which were originally developed for printing German (where all nouns begin with a capital letter).

In 2004, the U.S. State Department announced that as of February 1, 2004, all U.S. diplomatic documents would use 14 point Times New Roman instead of the previous 12 point Courier New.

Maybe the subliminal messages made you write it?

I really liked some of Ron's earlier Dredd stuff - Citizen Snork, The League of Fatties, et al. His later stuff wasn't so hot, but I think that was partly due to the number of lame scripts he was saddled with.

Bit like same-era Massimo, really. For me, MoonRunners was Massimo's Chronos Carnival.
