Times New Roman by Morison

Times New Roman was cut by Stanley Morison and draughtsman Victor Lardent at Monotype and printed for the first time in The Times of London on 3 October 1932. Narrow, economical, and high in stroke contrast, it was engineered to pack legible copy into tight newspaper columns. This system rebuilds that habitat: dense ink-black roman set justified on aged grey-tan newsprint, ruled with hairline column rules and topped by a single red masthead band. The page reads like a front page — headline deck, standfirst, small-caps byline — never a clean white screen.
