While reading about the research project, Women In Type (women-in-type.com), I discovered the article ‘The women behind Times New Roman: The contribution of type drawing offices to twentieth century type-making’ that was published in the Journal of Design History in September 2020. Below is the quoted article summary, and a link to read for free!

/// The narrative behind the creation of Times New Roman, one of the most widely used typefaces in the western world, is well established and revolves around famous male figures of British typographic history. This article recognises the role played by the Monotype Type Drawing Office (TDO), and of its draughtswomen in particular, in the making of the typeface. While female figures are largely absent from type histories, this contribution emphasises the key role played by the women who worked on adapting Stanley Morison’s original idea for Times New Roman into a fully working, extensive type family. Based on original archival material, it discusses the background of these women, their working conditions, and the nature of their contribution to type-making. In a wider perspective, this article advocates a more inclusive and collaborative view of design history and of its narratives. ///

I am not affiliated with this amazing resource, but if you have come this far to look at this typography pin, then you would probably be very interested in the work they're doing to set design history right.

Carefully and cutely packaged. The pin arrived in perfect condition; it arrived pretty quickly, despite coming from far away from me! The seller included two cute stickers as freebies, as well as a handwritten note! As a bonus, they sent an extra pin as well!! I’d absolutely order from this store again.

I received this package in a way that went ABOVE my expectations. I received an additional pin and a couple of accompanying stickers! I got this pin as a birthday gift for my friend who is a graphic designer and points out type fonts all the time while i just say everything is in times new roman. It's super awesome that we can have matching pins now!
