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?

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

Nope, has nothing to do with https://github.com/zed-industries/zed-fonts
I think this ended up on the front page because people instinctively upvoted Zed-something.
I dislike this trend of common words being used for tools
It started with Go, then Rust, then Zed. Whatever happened to giving a unique name like Hadoop?
