I love sometimes how certain green and geeky innovations can seem simple, and yet be so innovative and cool! A Dutch company, Econfont, has come up with a font that is friendlier for the earth and will save you money: a sans serif typeface based on Verdana but which has got holes in it! The tiny little holes can use up to 20% less ink (see the logo as an example).
As the Ecofont guys funnily say it, “After Dutch holey cheese, there now is a Dutch font with holes as well!”
Free to download (link here), free to use. Your ink cartridges (or toner) will last longer, and you will use less chemicals and packaging! Very cool !! (but only if combined with double-side printing).
Thanks @heatherannehunt for pointing this out!
