Ink-friendly Font

Tom Root sent this our way last week.  Ecofont reduces the amount of ink used to print by “omitting parts of the letter.”  At a large size you can see the dots of omission, but at 12 point or smaller the dots are unnoticeable.  With small bits of the font missing this in turn uses less ink.  It’s pretty clever, I don’t know how effective it is – Econfont claims you’ll use 20% less ink,  but I’m doubtful.  Nonetheless, I like the idea and it’s not a bad looking font either…Ecofont Serif coming soon?
