【1979 Archives】

Remember how you used to adjust the margins979 Archivesyour school papers so you could write a littlebit less? If you're still in school, remember how you still do that? Now, at long last, there's a font that will do all the cheating for you: Times Newer Roman.

According to its creator, the digital agency MSCHF, the typeface "kinda looks like Times New Roman, except each character is 5 to 10 per cent wider." This means, ostensibly, that you can turn in a paper in Times Newer Roman without it being terribly obvious that you've downloaded a full new font instead of writing 200 more words.

Here's a side-by-side comparison from the website. Honestly, the difference is incredibly subtle.

As with any shortcut, though, there is one major caveat. You'll only be able to use the font on papers that you either print or save to PDF. As Lifehacker points out, if you submit the document in Word, the font will only register if it's also downloaded to your instructor's computer. Unless they're also cheating on their term paper (if it's a TA, maybe they are!), this will probably pose an issue.

Anyway, we should probably say that we don't condone font-fudging of any kind. We're just letting you know this exists.
