The Times They Are A Changing Because of Neville Brody and Company

For only the fourth time since 1785, The Times in London has decided to update their typeface. And the role for doing so was given to Research Studios, who spent the last year doing so. We’re not usually big fans of press releases, and lord knows we receive our fair share on a daily basis, but this one, announcing the change, which goes into print this upcoming Monday, is really interesting. About the paper and their surprising growth rate, the process of creating the new font, and some brief little bits of history thrown in to boot.
