YOU SAVE EUR 705,00
BUYING THE ENTIRE FAMILY

It's still 725 euro or $1440 aussie dollars. Takes a bit to justify that kind of expense, even for something so lovely.

I'll give them $17.50, and let them have a quick squeeze.

i don't think it worths the price tag for this typeface

It's very nice. Has characteristics of some other fonts I like, but more usable and wide range of weights.
Along the lines of what others have said - I wonder what the sales look like for these fonts that are priced on the high end vs. something that is a little more sane.
Common sense tells you would sell more by pricing reasonably, but maybe some of these designers want to restrict the usage to less of a wide audience?

Pros and Cons:
1. Doesn't look too bad to "kern".
2. No typeface family is worth that kind of money, since only professionals will "value" it.
- typist0
not like i don't "value" this typeface
but have a better choice with the same price tag

Pricing for fonts is a bit insane.
Archer Pro - 25 styles for $270, and I don't think anyone would call that cheap.

Does this guy think his font is 3 times better than Archer?:)

nice but not that nice

pricing = marketing

Teff is selling fonts for 5000 $

Do they realise the economy is shot to bits at the moment. How many clients are going to be spending that kind of money on a font at the moment?

Investment in fonts is exactly what we need to turn this economy around
- forcetwelve0
too expensive
- Corvo20
I can understand you could charge a thousand eurobucks for a custom typeface, but going public with a streamline typeface asking for a lot of dough is like going to Egypt with a slab.

ukit is right. we need to contact a powerful lobbyist and talk to all politicians about how a font stimulus package could revive the creative sector and design our way out of the recession.
We need to do this everywhere except China... they are too close to world dominance for my liking...

Given the pricing of this typeface, this could indeed be the last we hear from Parachute.
- a desperate grab for cash?magnificent_ruin
- It was far-fetched pun based on the "encore" name. I'll work more on my material.NotByHand

i like the lighter weights but really don't like that black (or really heavy) weight. it looks a bit too bulky for my liking. and a lot buky for that price tag. can i haz it 4 frees?
- Corvo20
It's a nice typeface (contrary to jimzyk, I think the black one it's where the thing is), but there is no reason for the money they're asking.
