Not only should we cut back on paper use in printing but ever thought about cutting back on ink? Try downloading this free eco friendly font - Ecofont - developed by SPRANQ (from Utrecht, The Netherlands). The idea was how to create a font using less ink and how to much of a letter can be removed with it still being readable. This font has empty circles in its letters and uses 20% less ink. For normal 12pt printing it looks a little grayish but very readable; trying blowing it up and printing and you can see the circles in the letter but still readable! And thus the name spranq “After Dutch holey cheese, there now is a Dutch font with holes as well.”
