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.

    Load the font into a font editor and hack the name to be whatever you like.

    Personally I'm tired of fonts that are both narrow and kerned so tight that you have to use character select to figure out if your typo is cl or d.
