This made me think of Recursive Sans and Recursive Mono, two fonts which are also very malleable with multiple settings, but also open source.

This looks like a cool typeface in how much it can vary itself, but the price feels extremely expensive, and I don't like having to keep track of which of my library of typefaces are allowed to be used on which projects based on which license I bothered to buy for that typeface. Saying that I want to load the font onto a video server raises the price for a single variant to $1500ish, and there is no clarity on what license you need for web videos. Does that count as a movie license, or a TV license, or a web site license?
