Aurora is a serif typeface, designed by Jackson Burke (the successor to Chauncey H. Griffith at Mergenthaler Linotype) in 1960. The font is a darker derivative of the Corona typeface, initially designed for the Canada NewsWire.

The News 706 typeface by Bitstream Inc. is almost identical to Aurora.
