To be completely honest, I have zero interest in this. It's not a font that
people think of as "standard" or anything, and it's not special enough for me
to want to use it.
And the way copyright of fonts works in the U.S., $30,000 seems like a total
waste. Since the font face itself can't be copyrighted, why not just make a
whole new font file for the face with tracing or something? Surely it would
be cheaper than $30,000 to do it this way ($30,000 is enough to pay someone
full-time for 4 months at a rate equivalent to $90,000 a year).
I guess some places have decided to allow typefaces to be copyrighted (I
think I heard that the U.K. is one of them), so I guess this way would be
technically helpful for them. I find it hard
