Reminds me of this:

Interesting: I find that type designers approach me because they want to create fonts for my use, and, eventually, sell other versions for their commercial profit.

James, I was looking for that site recently but couldn’t remember the name. :-)

Buy them outright - what kind of money are you talking?

You may get a type design hobbyist interested.

So this is a vinyl cutter shop marketing to housewives and residential decorators through a network of demonstrators in a manner similar to Tupperware. I’m not going to knock someone for finding a new niche for a product. I certainly would never have thought of selling it in this way.

I once made an ornament - as clip art essentially - for a similar business.

David, what about answering Si’s Question?

I think David may have made a hit-and-run at this and possibly other design related communities with a similar message (note that there is an identical post in our own Design subforum). He is likely expecting a reply by email, and probably hasn’t checked back here at all since initially posting.

That’s one possible explanation. Have any typophiles contacted him?
