Planet saving Ecofont
Posted by sean on Thursday, November 3rd, 2011We stumbled across “Ecofont” the other day. It’s a program that adds holes to a system font such as Arial, Verdana and Times New Roman, and prints them out as if they have been involved in a shootout at the OK Corral. They don’t lose their form, just use less ink to make up the inner shapes. And because it’s been designed to work on regular body text sizes, their website claims it saves up to 50% ink consumption.
We certainly like the idea, especially if it goes a little way to saving the planet. Although, maybe we should simply write and print less…
