Origins Font 'Times New Roman'

This letter was designed by an Englishman named Stanley Morrison. He was born on May 6, 1889 in Wanstead, United Kingdom. Stanley grew up as someone who has no knowledge about printing, but later on he occupied many important positions in the world. A lot of knowledge in terms of typographic printing obtained from a member of The Pelican Press.

Her love of God makes a lot of reading religious books, even the work of the first typography also intended for the church. Once out of The Pelican Press, he worked for Cloister Press in Manchester. Many designs as he produced his best work for this company. Again, his work reflects the background of many Catholic churches, it is seen in the illustrations and assorted decorations that he was using. Because he hated the war, he could make a motion antiperangnya jailed for four years (1914-1918).

Starting from Newspapers "Times"

For approximately 30 years (1929-1960) Stanley Morrison has consulted the letter to The Times newspaper in London, England. As a consultant letter, in 1931 he told the Times, "The Times is a newspaper that has had its own customers, we require a letter that is not the same as merchandise in general, letters should be basically good, but it also reflects the strength of the line, consistency, and economical for The Times'.

Because of his words was, October 3, 1932 to be a day of marketing the font "Times" to the public, because on that day for the first time the newspaper The Times printed using a typeface named after the newspaper itself. Stanley Morrison was not the only one who was behind the screen success of the letter. He also assisted his friend named Victor Lardent as the person who drew the draft of this letter.
Font named Times is quickly becoming very popular at that time, widely used in newspapers, magazines, annual reports and books. This letter is registered licensed to The Monotype Corporation in the United Kingdom, but also registered with the Linotype companies licensed in the United States, as many newspaper The Times list of licensed products to Linotype. Finally, in 1945, The American Linotype Company to register the trade name "Times Roman" separately, not as a part of The Times or Monotype. This is where there is a difference a name to use this letter in the computer. Linotype and companies under licenses such as Adobe and Apple Macintosh using the name "Times Roman", while Monotype with companies such as Microsoft under its license to use the name "Times New Roman".

In the 80s, Monotype Times New Roman redesign and claims that letters in the redesign is better than Times Roman is owned by Linotype. Because it is not to be outdone, in adjacent time periods, Adobe, Linotype also launched a new series of letters the Times, which of course they claim the new letter is also better than Monotype's font. In fact, most or perhaps all users of this letter will not notice or will not even  a difference between them even though the letters are printed very clearly with a size 10 in high resolution 300 dpi.

Apart from the various conflicts in the above, it is evident that the Stanley Morrison has succeeded in creating a good letter with its own trademark so that this typeface is remembered and used by many today. He died on October 11, 1967 in London, England.
