Even as someone who has bought many fonts for coding, including Pragmata Pro, Operator and others (i.e. not cheap ones), I was blown away that for just the Mono weights in regular and italic is nine hundred and sixty dollars.
Shame, I was curious about trying it. Operator and Pragmata go for $199.
It also irks me that I cannot buy a single user license for Sohne, but a minimum of a 5 user license.
Individual personal users just aren't type foundaries like Klim's target market. They want to land large businesses who use their typefaces as their dedicated brand font - and the pricing reflects that potential value.
I agree though that they've missed out on an opportunity to land individual personal use. They've just slapped their standard license on it, and didn't think much about it.
Well, it is a pretty nonsensical name for a font. It appears to mean "unconsoled", which (a) has no valid semantics as applied to a font, since fonts don't have thoughts, moods, or feelings; and (b) has a very negative valence - being unconsoled is a bad thing.
OK, but by the time you're just picking ordinary words for the name of your product, should you have any level of concern for what those words mean? Are we going to follow up with "inconsolable"?
