One of the things to be clear about for yourself and the designer you work with
is what the medium you want it to work in will be.
For example is this mainly a font for printing on paper? Is it for the web too?
Do you want it to work well in fine printing? Do you only care about laser
printing
Precisely. It makes sense to fund a public resource.
If you see something close to what you want Playfair for example, you could ask
the designer to make a version with less contrast as Libre software and fund
that work. He probably has a lower contrast version already.
