	because people labour over a font for ages to get them perfect. I have friends who spends years on a single font family. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	One thousand dollars for little letters that you can't touch? Whatever. Can you get me the font for free? No? Then fuck off. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	It's a not a very fancy font. if you don't respect the designers enough to pay for it, go use another font. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	woaaaah calm down man. we designers take typography very seriously. sad but true. it's a sickness. there are copyright laws on fonts, that's why you can't get them for free. if you spent years of your life on something, you wouldn't want it selling for free either, right? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Wow, one thousand dollars really? Or is that an exaggeration? Because I respect font makers but crap. That's steep! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	indiechica 2008-02-22 06:57 am UTC (link)
	Well, it was for the entire "neo sans" family. But it's still just little letters you can't touch, you know? I don't think it should be that expensive. I love your icon by the way :) (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	gangroyalty 2008-02-22 07:00 am UTC (link)
	I guess it's so if tv shows want to use it, they have to pay the price really. Sometimes you have to wait a few hundred years for the designer to decide they want to make them cheap or free. Aww thank you :D (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Hahah, intense arguing over fonts=high-larious. Honestly, it's a font, it's not like an art masterpiece that you're hanging in a gallery. People should get over themselves and stop being pretentious. If you want to sell something for a thousand, go make a beautiful work of art, not just some letters. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	But then again art in itself is a history-long debate. To each his own, I suppose. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	that typing you're doing to shoot your mouth off would be rather difficult without some letters. for example, a lack of e's and t's might make you difficult to understand. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	That's more of a necessity than an artform. While letters are a necessity to language, design of them is not. E's have existed for centuries without fancy thousand dollar fonts. (Reply to this) (Parent)
