The object is to provide a magnetic toner with which toner scattering, toner spent to carrier, development of scratch streaks by the magnetic brush on the photoreceptor drum can be prevented for a prolonged period and a good image characteristic (in image density and background fogging) can be maintained for a prolonged period, and an image forming method using the magnetic toner. A two-component developer comprising carriers and toner which contains magnetic particle at least in a binder resin thereof, the magnetic particle being of basically polyhedral shaped shape, vertexes and edges of said polyhedral shape being curved surfaces, said shape having peripheral parts taken as straight lines in a projected image thereof, saturation magnetization of said toner in a magnetic field of 79.6 kA/m being 4.0 to 15.0 Am<SUP>2</SUP>/kg, is prepared, and the toner retaining members (carriers) bearing at least said magnetic toner to which electric charge is injected are allowed to face a latent image retaining member and an electrostatic latent image on said latent image retaining member is developed with said magnetic toner.
