how much do you think the most expensive font family costs would you maybe say 500 for the
entire collection well the estimate is pretty far from the mark and today i'm going to show
you the three most expensive font families ever made and so be prepared to be shocked
we're going to go in ascending order from the third most expensive font family all of the way
up to the most expensive and for the first font family that is ruse designed by garrett nordic
so this font family was designed by the foundry that actually holds the title of pretty much
all of the most expensive fonts out there that being the enchanter font foundry
now ruse was created in the year 2000 and has 22 fonts in the entire family it's a pretty elegant
serif typeface that according to the creator was a representation of their handwriting now if i made
a typeface based around my handwriting it wouldn't probably sell anything just saying so how much
does this cost well for a single font weight in both roman and italic it's going to set you back
562 euros which is around 680 for the entire font family as a bundle with 22 fonts it's a whopping
two hundred and 3250 five euros or somewhere around four thousand dollars the thing is that on
the foundry's website after vat tax it states that it is four thousand two hundred british pounds
which is almost six thousand dollars so the price is a bit confusing to me at least
anyway this isn't even the most expensive font family out there but before that let's look at
the second runner-up may i present to you trinity which is another serif font family within the same
foundry this family is made up of 29 fonts so that's seven more than the previous collection
now i honestly don't understand why you would pay this amount of money for a serif typeface or font
when you can get something for free or a lot cheaper that will do the same job just fine i
think this typeface is slightly more elegant than ruse that we just saw but i still would have major
issues when handing over a 3368 euros for the entire font family because there are 29 fonts that
make up this typeface collection each individual font is slightly less pricey than ruse at only 281
euros each or about 340 i say only that's probably more than i've ever spent on fonts in my entire
life but yeah also again when clicking buy on the foundry's website the v80 brings the price way up
over six thousand dollars so what is the most expensive font family and how much does it cost
and by the way there is a little surprise towards the end but first let me show you lexicon which
some would say is a con looking at a price tag for the whole font family it's another serif typeface
from the same foundry but this time with 24 fonts within the whole family
you are looking at the most expensive font family out there and it can be yours by spending
five hundred over ninety euros or four thousand three hundred ninety seven dollars but remember
that twenty percent vat is going to bump that price way way up so do let me know
if you want to spend the cash and splasher on this purchase however that isn't the end
of the story there is one single font download that is the most expensive single font purchase
because remember those high prices we've just discussed are for entire font families
there is one font that exists on the internet that triumphs even a single download of lexicon
and it's another serif solution it's as ugly as sin and it's probably a joke but it's still
there to be booked right now if you want to the font is called jh a bowdeny retalic
and for this single font you will need to pay 3527 british pounds or around 5 000 on the nose
i assume the designer of this fund probably just wanted to make a joke but at the same time
wondered if someone would actually end up buying it just to make a few thousand dollars on the side
but yeah it does exist and it's there to be bought right now if you want to

uploads last week i challenged you the viewer to redesign a sale poster that was found on freepik
now again there were so many entries and i've selected three because i thought they had some
interesting or good qualities it doesn't mean that if your entry isn't on today's video that it
wasn't good i just simply had to choose three out of scores of designs so the first one is by rhea
and i love how she's divided the design into two with the whites and also the yellow sections the
typography choices are good apart from the layout because it's not really aligned properly if you
don't want to align to the left you should make sure the central alignment is central and on this
design it isn't properly allies but yeah great work nonetheless next up was a hash which really
went out of the box in terms of a concept i love the use of hierarchy and also the color to suggest
the sale and the concept is really cool too but the word up to should be two separate words
and finally kelvin smashed this redesign with simplicity and a good old-fashioned
use of principles so yeah really great work on these designs and there is going to be a new
challenge next monday so stay tuned for that and also there are a couple of videos on screen right
now if you want to check out more content but until next time design your future today peace
you
