Member asz… Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Which font is the most expensive right now heavily depends on the daily USD/EUR exchange rate in a volatile currency market... ;-) Szabolcs Link to comment
Member Typ… Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 @innovati You are absolutely right about using what you have (Myriad family, or Futura or Univers ) there good fonts. However sometimes one becomes attached too a font so much that their willing to fork over cash for whatever the retailer is asking for them. I have bought a couple fonts that I love and use exclusively. Link to comment
Member inn… Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I guess in the context of person, the most expensive font is the one you buy that you get the least use out of. Link to comment
Member gue… Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Benton sans family, one computer license, $3200 Link to comment
Member Flo… Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Well, but that’s only $25 per style, isn’t it? Link to comment
Member Sim… Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 like someone mentioned earlier, if you hired a type designer to design you a font, then had a world-wide exclusive on it forever, that would cost a lot. i wonder how much companies like 3 paid for their world-wide exclusive fonts? i;m guessing it's not cheap, but totally worth it for their branding. (plus miles did a fantastic job! i love verona!) Link to comment
Member Wer… Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 @Simon - have you taken a look at this? http://www.linotype.com/24-19724/corporatetypedownload.html As far as I understand, these are just the companies who wish others (like design agencies) to be able to download their corporate fonts. I am quite sure companies like Linotype or Adobe have a huge "secret" list of companies they made fonts for. Guess we'll never know :-) Link to comment
Member Sim… Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 @Werfer - i hadn't seen that, interesting... i once contacted a foundry to see how much a world-wide exclusive license would cost for my work for a custom family of fonts (Roman, Italic, Bold & Bold Italic in sans and serif) and the rough estimate was around $60k if it was all original. For a world-wide exclusive, i think this is quite reasonable. in regard to 3, some info is here about it: http://www.newlyn.com/work/client/3 i find this kind of work really interesting, and i respect miles a lot.
