Even as someone who has bought many fonts for coding, including Pragmata Pro, Operator and others (i.e. not cheap ones), I was blown away that for just the Mono weights in regular and italic is nine hundred and sixty dollars.
Shame, I was curious about trying it. Operator and Pragmata go for $199.
It also irks me that I cannot buy a single user license for Sohne, but a minimum of a 5 user license.
Individual personal users just aren't type foundaries like Klim's target market. They want to land large businesses who use their typefaces as their dedicated brand font - and the pricing reflects that potential value.
I agree though that they've missed out on an opportunity to land individual personal use. They've just slapped their standard license on it, and didn't think much about it.
Well, it is a pretty nonsensical name for a font. It appears to mean "unconsoled", which (a) has no valid semantics as applied to a font, since fonts don't have thoughts, moods, or feelings; and (b) has a very negative valence - being unconsoled is a bad thing.
OK, but by the time you're just picking ordinary words for the name of your product, should you have any level of concern for what those words mean? Are we going to follow up with "inconsolable"?
Brilliant idea! I recently had a difficult time trying to get a cashiers check at a few nearby banks/credit unions I wasn’t a member of. It’s incomprehensible to me they weren’t willing to accept a fee in order to charge my debit card for the amount of the check + fee ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
From the press release: "The complaint separately alleges that RealPage has unlawfully maintained its monopoly over commercial revenue management software for multi-family dwellings in the United States, in which RealPage commands approximately 80% market share."
That’s 80% of companies who are using revenue management software are using Realpage, not that 80% of rental units are using Realpage revenue management software
... yeah that's pretty much all of them minus some mom and pops who manage themselves. And from personal experience those mom and pops are selling out to management companies now so a whole neighborhood of single family rentals might be actually controlled by just one or two companies.
