Nimbus Roman is a serif typeface created by URW Studio in 1982.

Nimbus Roman No.9L is a serif typeface created by URW Studio in 1987, and eventually released under the GPL and AFPL (as Type 1 font for Ghostscript) in 1996 and LPPL in 2009. It features Normal, Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic weights, and is one of several freely licensed fonts offered by URW++.

It is a standard typeface in many Linux distributions.
