EcoFont...save ink!



There is a company in the Netherlands, SPRANQ, that has the environment and your wallet in mind.  They have developed a new Open Source (aka absolutely free to use and distribute) font called EcoFont.  From the website:
"The prints we make for our 'daily use' not only use paper, but also ink. According to SPRANQ creative communications (Utrecht, The Netherlands) your ink cartridges (or ink toner) could last longer.

SPRANQ has therefore developed a new font: the Ecofont.

"After Dutch holey cheese, there now is a Dutch font with holes as well."

Appealing ideas are often simple: how much of a letter can be
removed while maintaining readability? After extensive testing with all
kinds of shapes, the best results were achieved using small circles.
After lots of late hours (and coffee) this resulted in a font that uses
up to 20% less ink. Free to download, free to use."

Grab the Ecofont and install it today!  See how much ink you can save while still maintaining readability!

Ecofont | less is more
