custom typeface work for Ernst & Young. How exactly does this work?
Let's say a large corporate customer wants a specific type family for 200 CPUs, but doesn't want to shell out for a full-family, 200-CPU license. Can they hire a type designer to design a 'similar' face for a flat fee and use it however they see fit on as many CPUs as they can plug in?
And how long would it take to design such a similar family of type? And space it and kern it? That's *a lot* of work. Anyone know how this works?

Common practice.
