Webfont pricing is always so weird to me. No one sees a massive spike of traffic on their site and thinks "Oh no! My font license only allows 100K visits a month! Shut it down!".

However, as an art form, typographic design gets the short end of the stick in terms of protection and how people treat their work. There need to be a middle ground right? It's not exactly easy to make a GOOD font, and I'm happy to pay for one if I'm respected in the license.

I like the license Matthew Butterick uses for his fonts. [0] Some things are still a little... odd. (A word file using the font can't be seen by more than 20 people.) But the web font licensing is perfectly fair. (To be used on 3 publicly accessible websites, and embedded using WOFF2 only.)
