Help Needed - Trying to understand the typeface research and purchasing process
I’m trying to better understand the typeface research and purchasing process. It’s a new world for me and unfortunately, I don’t have very many personal contacts who are able to advise me. I’ve put together a very brief - 3 min - survey to get a better idea of the overall process. If anyone has experience in purchasing typeface, I would love to know more about your experience through this survey. Any advice you can provide would be a HUGE help!

Are you familiar with Mary Catherine Pflug’s Font Purchasing Habits survey? She has been running it for several years now. It is quite extensive, and she and MyFonts are kind enough to share the results publicly. https://medium.com/@mcpflugie/the-2018-font-purchasing-habits-survey-results-complete-edition-92baefd950011

reminder: this is (and shall remain) a real-names-forum.

And a reminder that this is a type designer forum. Most of us probably don't purchase a lot of font licences.2

True. But a lot of us sell font licenses, so we know a fair bit about the process, and even how it varies from client to client or user to user.0
