Hmmm, how to find the top 15 most expensive individual?

$ 299 each. But there are cheaper buying choices for fewer impressions.

Am I missing something here? Aachen is only 2 fonts. Pretty pricy for getting Aachen medium, considering I have multiple licenses for Aachen Bold, since it was frequently given as a bonus with Adobe software back in the day.

If for some reason you're stuck with having to pay for something like Aachen, well you're gonna have to pay up the wazoo!

TEFF Trinité full family: $ 4,685

Worth every cent, of course.

[Member qua…]

Of course, there's Dyslexie...

[Member Rya…]

That's only for Linotype's Aachen. Apparently a lot of foundries seem to have this font, and for a lot cheaper.

Also, the list has been updated.

Ryan, The TEFF font families are NOT available on MyFonts…

[Member Rya…]

Good point, Bert. Correction made.

[Member R.…]

Aachen Medium, as shown on the page you linked to, seems to be ‘Not for sale here’. Aachen Bold is offered as a part of either a ‘OpenType Classics Collection Value Pack’ containing 125 fonts ($949 = $7.60 per font) or a ‘Linotype Essentials™ 1 Value Pack’ containing 134 fonts ($999 = $7.45 per font).

If you want to make a comparison, try to compare the prices per font.

[Member Rya…]

Dyslexie

Hard to find a reliable price on this one. The closest I can find is €455.

[Member Rya…]

A good question is how many actual fonts are in the TEFF families?

[Member Bir…]

From May 1st some of the weights of Wayfinding Sans Pro will be $749 each:
