@knutsandin We stopped paying the yearly Apple App Store fee for the like three downloads a month it got at that point, but let me look into it!

@riomadeit Necessary? Sometimes. Beneficial: pretty often at this scale, and for more than just monetary and legal reasons.

@domesticetch We find that clients often want custom, but might be well-served by customized. Sometimes we can convince them of that, sometimes we can’t :)

@domesticetch Another one is ensuring easy transition from old to new. Or tailoring the weights to their needs (digital products often need a lot of differentiation in the bold weights). Or delivering specific font sets for specific teams, like an office app version for ms office app users.

@domesticetch Definitely do both custom and customized a fair bit. Customized is a little cheaper but mostly faster, and sometimes the better solution. Especially when it’s a near-match with client needs and when extensive language support is required on a short timeline or smaller budget.

@domesticetch For example: what retail typeface combines the exact brand characteristics they want to highlight in marketing applications with a text version of the same fonts for small sizes, that in Lucid’s case would satisfy their usability / readability/ legibility needs?
