When you click on the link to Font Folio Education Essentials in the education store ( ) you also get a link to the full product page. Your “Read about it here” link to the actual product links to the main product, not the student product, so it shows the full list of fonts. Since I already own InDesign CS4 (student edition), I already own 2/3 of the typefaces you list on your PDF, including the “big names.” I couldn’t see a font list other than the one listed for Font Folio 11.1, and so I assumed that the student version contained the same fonts as the standard.Īfter I ordered, I found this page, and I was pretty disappointed to see that the selection of fonts (typefaces) is much, much smaller. I just ordered the Font Folio essentials, thinking I would get the full package as described for the Font Folio 11.1. That’s great for really tight budgets, but for students and institutions that can afford the slightly higher price of Font Folio Education Essentials, I think it offers a much more rounded collection including more “big name typefaces.” However, trying to keep the price to an absolute minimum restricted which fonts we could include in that package, due to royalty issues. This is also some 500 fonts, and is only $99, or about $50 for large-scale licensing (e.g. We do have another education package, the little-known Type Classics for Learning. They had a strong vision of what was needed, and we were able to work with them to figure out how best to implement it.
I really enjoyed working on this with the good folks from the AIGA. I’m sure we can remedy that in the official pages, but in the meantime, here’s my listing of the font bundle:īoth by family and font (Excel spreadsheet, see both tabs) However, one thing that seems to be missing from all the PR bumpf is an actual… list of what fonts the product comprises. Estimated street price for this package of 500 fonts is USD $149 for a single user (with volume discounts available for schools). We worked with the good people at AIGA (American Institute for the Graphic Arts) to come up with the best bundle we could for educators and students. Adobe today launched a new font package, which I’m very pleased with: Font Folio Education Essentials.
