Ecofriendly font saves on ink


Will a new, free-to-download, environmentally friendly font that cuts down on printing ink mean less paper use?

The Ecofont saves on printing ink by … well, using less of it. Letters in the freely downloadable typeface contain multiple small circular holes, meaning that each letter requires less ink to be printed.

Though rather striking, the typeface is wholly readable (no pun intended) and is, apparently, most effective at nine or 10 point. It's also sans serif...Spranq claims that the Ecofont will reduce ink use by up to 20%...
