It's the nicest monospace font I've seen in a while, and I'd love to try it out, but $75 is a rather hefty price for development use. I don't mean to diminish the work that's been done, but more... I wonder if you could sell twice as much by cutting the price in half.

$75 prices out quite a lot of people.

For a paid font $75 for an unlimited lifetime license is not at all expensive. I suspect the difficulty isn't so much getting people to pay $75 for a font, but getting people to pay for a font in the first place. The font market is essentially split between free fonts and expensive fonts. The people willing to pay for fonts are not particularly price sensitive, because if they were they would just be using a free font.

It's also that the market for "font customers" (for typesetting, design, etc.) and for developers who want a font in VSCode is very, very different.

What I'm seeing in this discussion is that the developer market is pretty price-sensitive, possibly because they're paying out of pocket and not charging back to clients or expensing.
