Something to consider: maybe he's asking for this font because, since it's free for non-commercial use, he's expecting you to charge less than a commercial font would cost. So I wouldn't charge too much, or else you might lose the business when he decides that if he's going to have to pay that much anyway then he should use a different font.

How much would you charge to design the logo for the restaurant?

Free for non-commercial use and $5000 for commercial use. That sounds fair!

$19 to $39

$23.50 for the license. But offer to turn the setting into a propper logo for $120 an hour.

House Industries charges more for licenses for fonts used in national logos or large scale ad campaigns and sign usage. But, that's House Industries whose product is outside of my budget. T-shirts or a logo for a local restaurant what is the difference? Just out of curiosity, why do you have the font up on Dafont.

$19.99

I trade t-shirt designs signage for donuts...

Ok, thank you all for your replies.
@phrostbyte64: Because it was my first font I ever created and it took only a few hours to complete.

I'd suggest not getting mired in the specifics of particular implementations, but rather have a 'free for personal use' and '$x for commercial use' pricing system.

I must be doing something wrong; mine take months to complete!

hobbyists!

Don't scorn, James. Many a four hour first font leads one into a more serious pursuit.

Let's hope he doesn't take your initial price of $5000 seriously. :)
