CG Times: Precision Serif for Dense Editorial Layouts

Balancing long-form body text across complex, multi-column layouts without fatiguing the reader requires a deliberate approach to typographic structure. CG Times addresses this exact challenge through robust vertical stress and sharp bracketed serifs that maintain letterform distinction at small point sizes. Built with compact proportions and normal width, this transitional serif allows precise character counts per line in demanding publishing environments.

Originally designed for serious corporate reports and academic publishing, the typeface brings an elegant, corporate mood to branding projects and logo design. The family includes six styles spanning regular and bold visual weights in OTF, TTF, WOFF, and WOFF2 formats, providing technical flexibility for both print and web design workflows. Without relying on italics, the design focuses entirely on upright clarity.

Multilingual typesetting is fully supported out of the box, covering English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, and Polish characters. Whether typesetting an extensive book manuscript or establishing a restrained visual identity for a financial institution, this typeface delivers consistent readability and a controlled aesthetic.
