Don't know, but maybe you could go on their forum and one of the administrators might be able to help.

I agree. Just give the admin a holler, I am sure people are nice these days (atleast they are around here, lol)

making fonts must be real hard work for them to be so expensive...

Yes, it is quite complex. There is a lot involved in making a font.

yes, and I use them and like them. But I think they're still a bit far from some commercial-class fonts. Can't blame anyone :p hard work makes people spend time, and they also need to put food on their table

It doesn't look like the same font. Herculanum Bold has more squared off edges on the swooshy bits. The image has them rounder. It's totally possible they took a pre-existing font and messed with it to get that one.
