Times Newer Roman puts less text on more pages

Ever wanted to stretch out your essay or report so it fit on more pages?  Times Newer Roman is a font that will help you do just that.

Enter Times Newer Roman, a font that looks like Times New Roman (available on both Windows and Mac) but is 5-10% wider.

Even in this single line example, you can see that Times Newer Roman (the second, darker line) uses more space along the line.
