A dutch creative company called SPRANQ has developed a new font that will save you toner and ink with your printer. The Ecofont uses up to 20% less toner or ink compared to the original font Bitstream Vera.

The font uses a number of small circles to reduced the amount of coloured ink needed to render a font, yet still leaving the font completely readable. The larger the font size, the greater the saving in toner and ink. The Ecofont is available to download for use in Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.
