Thank you! Here they are:

my word, you're geniuses! i can't thank you enough.

wow! looks good to me!

how do i go about getting at it and the bold?

Thanks again.

I have scanned in a page as instructed but have no web server / site to post the scan to. Any suggestions?

Thank you for your response. I'm not hugely design savvy, though I do know a bit about computers and coding. For this I apologise - I may need you to walk me through it a bit.

Do you mean to say you can extract a font from the css? I am editing the document in illustrator, so this where I'll need to import it.

The font on the front website page looks passable, though I see what you mean about the serifs.

I will need a heading + body + the sans serif byline text.

This one here has a good summary of what I'm looking for:

I found some pre-scanned versions on the internet (sorry they are big):

Haha thank you, I am well familiar with times new roman and am using it as a substitute.

Times modern is not quite the same and was looking to make it look identical to the newsprint.

Hello!

I have been asked by my university to generate a mock journalistic piece in the style of the Times newspaper (London).

I am seeking a typeface to approximate it... having done some research I note that the current typeface is Times Modern, generated by Prowse & Brody in 2006.

Does anyone know of a similar one that can be bought / gained for free online?

I've also considered EF Times Modern, but it would appear this has been removed from market.

Thanks for your help!
