Times New Roman was developed by the Times of London after a reader wrote to the newspaper criticizing them for the quality of their printing and typography. The reader was commissioned by the paper to redesign its style, which was called "Times New Roman" because the older typeface used was called "Times Old Roman". This classic font and all Times fonts, are based on earlier Roman styles.
