PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a toner for electrostatic latent image development, which is excellent in fixability, heat-resistant storage property and durability against long-term stresses and can be charged into a desired charge amount to form an image with desired density when images are formed for a long period of time in various environments such as a high temperature and high humidity environment and a low temperature and low humidity environment.SOLUTION: The toner for electrostatic latent image development comprises toner particles each comprising: a toner core particle containing at least a binder resin; and a shell layer covering the entire surface of the toner core particle. Inorganic fine particles having a volume average particle diameter of 5 nm or more and 30 nm or less are present on an interface between the toner core particle and the shell layer. The shell layer is smoothed to a predetermined degree. When a cross section of the toner particle is observed with a transmission electron microscope, cracks are observed in the shell layer, approximately perpendicular to the surface of the toner core particle. |
