A dry toner has toner particles containing at least a binder resin, a colorant and a wax component and an external additive. The binder resin contains a component derived from a monomer selected from butadiene, isoprene and chloroprene. The toner has a main Tg from 40° C. to 70° C. When specific surface area measured by the BET method in an environment of 23° C. atmospheric temperature and 65% relative humidity is represented by A (m<2>/g) and specific surface area measured by the BET method in an environment of 50° C. atmospheric temperature and 3% relative humidity is represented by B (m<2>/g), the toner satisfies the following relationship: 0.8<=A<=4.0, 0.80<=(B/A)<=1.05. The toner has a circle-corresponding number-average particle diameter D1 from 2 to 10 mum, an average circularity from 0.950 to 0.995 and a circularity standard deviation less than 0.040. The toner has a main-peak molecular weight from 2,000 to 100,000 and contains a THF-insoluble matter from 5 to 60% by weight.
