Setting font type for x and y ticks in subplots matplotlib

I am having issues setting up the x and y ticks font type to "Times New Roman". Here is my code below:

font = {'fontname':'Times New Roman'}

fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=2, ncols=3, figsize=(20,12))
axes[0,0].get_xticklabels(**font)
axes[0,0].get_yticklabels(**font)

However, this command is not resetting the font type to the font I would like it to be. The titles for the x and y axis and labels will set the font type based off the **font argument. Can someone point me to the right command to fix this issue please? Thank you for your time and assistance.

You need to set the fontname for each of the xticklabels and yticklabels for each axes.

You can get the tick labels using get_xticklabels and get_yticklabels. Then you want to set the fontname property of the resulting Text objects.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fontname = 'Times New Roman'

fig, axes = plt.subplots(nrows=2, ncols=3, figsize=(10,6))

for ax in axes.flatten():
    labels = ax.get_xticklabels() + ax.get_yticklabels()
    [label.set_fontname(fontname) for label in labels]
