@behdad 3. I think one of the reasons why Adobe Fonts contains so few VFs is because they offer a really bad deal for foundries. Adobe’s compensation for VFs does not compare to their real value and undercuts the foundries.

@behdad 4. Final point. I’m sure the majority of type designers have been using an interpolation based workflow since the 1990s because it’s easy and efficient. But a strictly VF workflow is not by definition easier and certainly with complex families makes development harder. (I know this is partly a tool issue.) VFs can easily become a straight jacket where more time is spent on point compatibility than actual design.
