Exact is a digital reconsideration of the dourly ubiquitous Times New Roman, featuring properly drawn curves, and a wider range of weights. The bold weights have a bit of 70s funk, and the light weights are a bit Olive Oyl, but fear not, the Regular is as prissy and straight-laced and generally TNR as anyone could wish. The manicule we found lying around somewhere. The name is a nod to the designer’s youthful days of kerning typositor type with an X-Acto knife.
