A developer having low-temperature fixability and storage stability, and capable of prolonging the service life is provided. A toner includes a coloring agent, an amorphous polyester, a crystal line polyester, ester wax containing multiple ester compounds, each having a carbon number selected from 32 to 54, and hydrophobic silica having an average primary particle diameter of 8 to 35 nm. When the ion intensity ratio of each ester compound having a different carbon number is expressed as percentage, the content (a) of the ester compound having a carbon number of (Cn) showing the maximum intensity ratio is from 20 to 55% by weight of the entire ester wax, the sum (g) of the content (e) of the ester compound having a carbon number of (Cn+2) and the content (f) of the ester compound having a carbon number of (Cn+4) satisfies the following formula: 0.065≦g/a≦0.200.
