Be eco-friendly…with your font!

January 7, 2009

Maybe your printer’s toner cartridges are recyclable. Fortunately ours are. But regardless of that, we use a lot of unfriendly ink, and it costs a lot too! Always at the forefront of green efforts, the Dutch, and more specifically, a company called Spranq, created an eco-friendly font called Ecofont. Because there are holes pervading each letter (originally based off of Vera Sans), the font uses 20% less ink than standard fonts. It’s a free download too! Now, if I can think of something to use it for beyond the sterotyped movie marquis type, I’ll be golden (and green)!
