All good points but I think at the $5 level you're also competing with "free". There are a lot of comments here suggesting fonts like Iosevka which are open source/free. In any case my point was that we don't really have to debate what the market "would do": there isn't a market for $5 fonts but there is for $100 fonts. It's possible that nobody has figured out there's a gap and therefore an opportunity. Or font makers have found that they make more money selling fewer licenses.
