Times Newer Roman is a new font to make academic papers appear longer.

Times Newer Roman is designed to add length to any academic paper that has page requirements and also requires the use of Times New Roman.

[...] This means that a paper of given word count will have more length when rendered in Times Newer Roman instead of the old Times New Roman—hopefully without being noticeable to whoever's job it is to grade the paper.

Bigger and therefore better academic papers help advance the state of the art.

    While this font could be used throughout the web, I think it's destined to be used primarily by lazy college students.

    it's destined to be used primarily by lazy business, history, and the fine arts college students.

    FTFY. Since MLA specifies 12pt, double spaced, 1inch margin sans-serif fonts, a modification to Times New Roman only affects Chicago-style departments.

    Btw, Latex bib packages suck so don't look for a solution there.
