I've got a smaller one again! Though not as legible: threepwood, and an italic one: thorpwood italic. Both are CC attribution only, so feel free to use them as you please.

As an amateur, not-making-a-dime web site maker you probably don't need the full 22-font version of Helvetica with support for Greek and Cyrillic. The Standard OpenType version is $29 a font.

These people don't seem aware that typefaces are usually available in many weights.

You can save much more than this by simply changing to a lighter weight.

(I am a typographer. But it shouldn't take one to figure this out.)

Exactly, I glanced their font home page, and saw they even *had* to use a heavier weight to make the "eco" part (in the new typeface) more readable. Eyeballing the looks of it, it seemed to only be lighter if using the same weight as a traditional font. But then this new font is far less readable. So... I'm not sure what's won.
