It is Requiem. More Specifically HTF Requiem Fine and Ornaments. That top bar is in the ornament set - a dead give away.

That’s it. Such a lovely font, but so expensive.

US$199 for a license for a fully-featured high quality three-weight family in three optical sizes plus ligatures and ornaments is so expensive!?

Errr... What planet are you from, Peter? I hope you weren’t expecting it to come for free with a box of cereals. (All in good humour ;-) ) I mean, I checked the price twice after reading your comment — I think this family is very reasonably priced.

Kidding aside, what would you consider a fair price for HTF Requiem?

Sorry, but I always chuckle when I see someone make a comment like “...so expensive”

There should be a list “Top Ten Things Not To Say On Typofile”

I will say that I’ve purchased a number of type families from H&FJ - Champion Gothic, Gotham, Whitney and hopefully Mercury soon. Their typefaces are “workhorse” fonts that you’ll be able to use over and over again. Their typefaces are worth every penny.

I agree completely. HTF does a great job and it’s excellent value, especially other foundries can charge as much $60 or so for a single weight (like that godawful Bookman swash at Castcraft).

Or my unrequited crush, FBNobel which will set you back over $500 for the family.

That said, you can buy Nobel in single weights, which HTF doesn’t seem to offer.

Peter mentioned in another thread he was starting a web design business to pay for school. For that reason alone I could see how he could see the font as being expensive.

This is what I call expensive. ;-)

Oops, this puts everything into context of course. Being student is already tough enough. Sorry’boutthat, Peter, no offense.

I think going to Yale as a freshman is up to $40,000. (thats one year)

Yves, I wouldn’t mind getting a box of cereal with a font purchase. If it’s Chocos.

(Tiffany, I’m not doing this to stay ahead, honest. In fact I’ve been holding back.)

Peter, I’ll send you a box of cereal if you order the font.

LOL :-D

That’s a novel marketing trick. Does he get to choose which kind? I’d go for Kellog’s Honey Nut Frosties!

4. Do not misspell “Typophile”.

;-P

Now _that_ is how you sell a typeface to a student. i’m almost tempted..

Yves, it’s Kellogg’s (with two g’s)

as long as you’re correcting spelling...

Ouch! :-D

Me being an unapologetic know-it-all makes me an easy target. Serves me right. My bad.

Naturally, it would have to be these.

so if a non-student licenses it can we get a can of alphabet soup? ;^)

My first typesetting job used Alpha-Bits. The client ate it up.

hoefler, when I bought HTF Requiem I didn’t got my cereals :P

BTW I’ve used it (AGAIN) last month on a wine bottle, must upload some images.

When you apply for the bonus gift retroactively, it’s Sans Alpha-Bits.

hhp

not Alpha-Bits Sans?

Curiously, the cereal itself seems to be a sans (Frankfurter? Vag Rounded?) and yet the box promises a serif. They need to work on their brand identity.

> not Alpha-Bits Sans?

I was trying to say that you don’t get any. (I should’ve not capitalized the “Sans”.)

> They need to work on their brand identity.

Or maybe it’s targeted specifically at Egyptian immigrants in Switzerland.

Yes, Dan is correct, I am a poor student; though thankfully, not at Yale ($40,000!).

Yves: None taken. That’s what I get for saying such a thing on Typophile. And you’re right; $199 is not too expensive for such a great font.

Now if only that cereal box came with a sizeable mail-in rebate.

I should’ve not capitalized the “Sans”

i was making a joke! c’mon now. I think the bits have vestigal serifs, at least some of the characters do. don’t they?
