Originally commissioned by the British newspaper The Times in 1931 as a response to a critique
of the previous typeface they used the Times type family - including Times Roman Times New
Roman and a number of other variants - has become one of the most commonly used throughout the
world. Distributed by Microsoft with every copy of Windows since version 3.1 and used as the
default typeface for many applications including Microsoft Word Times has become the most
widely accepted typeface for high school and college papers. It is also widely used in
publishing including for almost all mass market paperbacks produced in the United States and
it became the official typeface of all U.S. government diplomatic documents in 2004. This brand
new volume in the I Love Type series from Victionary is expertly curated to prove that this
highly functional type family can be highly aesthetic and cutting edge when utilized by
internationally respected designers for the incredibly creative design projects of all types
featured within these pages - from fashion show invitations to hand-printed artist books to
posters and art installations.
