Both packages cost a lot more now.Īdobe is a big company. Monotype's 'static' version of Helvetica Now cost $99 initially. I'll try to jump on introductory pricing specials when certain high profile type families are first released. Type designers can't be expected to do all that work for nothing. It takes a great deal of work to create a typeface that lives up to modern standards. From time to time participating type foundries will remove their fonts from the service.įonts costing money is a fact of life. I have a Master Collection CS5.5 box and IIRC it had hardly any bundled fonts at all.Īny businesses that need to use a certain commercial type family frequently should buy a license of it, even if those fonts are available to sync via Adobe Fonts. It sure beats the small amount of fonts that were included in past perpetual license Creative Suite products. I'm thankful for what we get with the Adobe Fonts service, which is quite a lot. An Adobe CC subscription does not give any customers a limitless supply of commercial fonts.
