T

`Times `Ro·man /'taImz `roUm@n/ noun

(printing) A proprietary face commissioned by The Times (London) who no longer use it. This face has been widely used, imitated, and adapted and some variation of it is available (often by default) in virtually all graphic computer interfaces and word processors. It, licensed updates, or generic look-alikes are still extremely popular in books and magazines. It is a proportional serif face. Some graphic browsers may display this sentence in Times Roman or a similar face.
