probably around $1,000. it's difficult to find the money to buy the fonts i need. i understand that typographers need to get paid but fonts costing as much (and more) as a Photoshop license is a little ridiculous. it's unfair to compare big type foundries to record labels but they do need to take a look at their business model.

Don't think I purchased a lot of fonts this year. Last year it was probably around $1k, but this year much, much less than that. The up side is that I get to write it all off on the ol taxes...

This year we spent about $1,800 on typefaces. Bought Mercury (the whole suite) and Glosa, blew the budget right there :)

probably $1,000. I have been drawing more fonts lately though.
I always try and convince my employer to buy necessary fonts, but most are not very receptive.

I don't know... haven't kept track... but certainly in the four digit range (US dollars that is).
For some reason when I buy a new typeface, it's often not as great and amazing once I own it. It's probably not much different than how it is with most things. It's just that materialistic greed of getting 'cool' stuff you don't have, but once you have it you're already bored with it and looking for the next thing.- It's all in the usage... but yeah, I feel you. I've had that issue with some typefaces. Sometimes the opposite has happened.gramme
- happened. My boss won't agree with this sentiment, but I like Mercury more and more with use.gramme
- Same with Thesisgramme
- I agree. Sometimes you like stuff more and more. Or get an appreciation for it at a later point.NotByHand
- I haven't bought Thesis yet btw.
