NEW: Exact from Signal Type Foundry is a fresh and joyful digital reinterpretation of the Times New Roman genre, with some unlumpy curves and a notion of organic unity, spiced with a bit of 70s influence, and the name inspired by the old days of kerning with an X-Acto knife! . #Fontstand #typeface #font #fonts #typography #type #typedesign #newspaperdesign #bookdesign #editorialdesign #timesnewroman
