Typeface for TeX
MathTime (sometimes MathTıme) is a Times-style mathematical typeface for TeX, created by Michael Spivak. MathTime has been widely adopted by academic publishers such as by Elsevier, the American Physical Society, the Mathematical Association of America, and Springer. A distinguishable symbol in this font is the integral sign which appears in many mathematical, physical, and engineering journals.
