2446: Times New Roman Aug 22, 2021

The most popular font of all time, and one of the most recognizable is Times New Roman, created in 1931 by The Times, a London newspaper. The Times only used this for 40 years of its 236 year history though, from 1932 to 1972, and since then the paper has changed fonts on five occasions, in part due to changes in the actual paper and overall layout styles. Still, these new fonts are mostly variations on the Times New Roman classic, which itself tried to draw on traditional italian styles of the early printing presses, hence the 'Roman'.
