The Times Newer Roman font is specially designed to make your work look bigger.
If you are a high school student or even a professional writer, and you have been assigned a large task, say five pages, in Times New Roman 12pt font size, you may need a little help if you get stuck on the fourth page and do not know what else to write .
The usual tricks what one does when one is in this position and wants to make an essay seem longer is to use longer spaces, lots of commas, big margins, and maybe try to make the font size bigger. In the quiver of the mischievous student there is now an easier solution: the Times Newer Roman font. Times Newer Roman is a typeface made by company MSCHF, and is very similar to the university font Times New Roman, but each character is gently altered to be 5 to 10% longer. So with a simple conversion you will see your essays look longer.
According to the Times Newer Roman website, a 15-page, 12pt single-page document requires only 5.833 words, compared to the 6.680 required by the standard Times New Roman. (The difference is 847 words you do not need to write, which is more than double this article!)
More specifically, Times New Roman is a licensed font, while Times Newer Roman is actually a modified version of Nimbus Roman No.9 L (1), which is a free and open source font. The changes made by MSCHF simply make the characters of the Nimbus Roman No.9 L wider, leaving the vertical heights untouched. They find it difficult to tell the difference between Times Newer Roman and Times New Roman.
Keep in mind that in our digital age such tricks have some drawbacks. Times Newer Roman will only work on tasks that you have to submit manually or in PDF. If you are sending a document in Word using a custom font that teachers are almost certain not to have installed, then this solution will not help you. Similarly, Times Newer Roman is only useful for requiring large numbers of pages. If you have a strict word count limit, then you are out of luck.
Times Newer Roman is available for free at this link. Please note that iGuRu does not suggest that you deceive anyone by modifying your essays in any way.
