Also note that you probably wantr more than "a single font" because the
bold and italic styles count as separate fonts. You typically buy a set
of four fonts (roman, bold, italic, and bold italic) rather than just one.
And with a professional-quality font like Optima you may want to consider
buying the whole font family to get the demi-bold, black, and extra black
weight variants as well as the medium and bold. The cost for a whole
family (typically about a dozen fonts with roman and italic versions in
each weight) is often about the same as the price of half as many
single fonts.
