Abstract: A toner including a toner particle that contains a binder resin, a polyester resin A and a wax, wherein the polyester resin A contains a specific amount of an isosorbide unit based on a total number of monomer units constituting the polyester resin A, the content of the polyester resin A is a specific amount, and when observing a cross-section of the toner, twenty toner particle cross-sections are selected that have a major axis R (?m) that satisfies a specific relationship with respect to the weight-average diameter D4 (?m) of the toner, each major axis r that have the largest major axis is measured for those domains composed of wax present in the selected toner particle cross-sections, and the arithmetic mean (r/R)st of the determined r/R satisfies a specific relationship.

Abstract: The present invention is a toner including toner particles prepared by forming particles of a polymerizable monomer composition including a polymerizable monomer, a pigment, a pigment dispersant and a crystalline polyester resin in an aqueous medium, and polymerizing the polymerizable monomer, wherein the polymerizable monomer is a polymerizable monomer for preparing a vinyl copolymer, the difference in an SP value between the pigment dispersant and the crystalline polyester resin is ?1.5 to +0.8, the difference in an SP value between the pigment dispersant an the vinyl copolymer is ?1.1 to +1.2, the pigment dispersant has a polymer component and an adsorbable component adsorbed to the pigment, the polymer component is a vinyl polymer, the polymer component of the pigment dispersant has a number average molecular weight of 3,000 to 20,000, and a rate of adsorption of the pigment dispersant to the pigment is 30% or more.
