Ecofont - Use less ink/toner

As educators, we use a lot of paper and ink on a regular basis. I was recently made aware of a new font that reduces the amount of ink/toner you use. The font was designed by a company called Spranq and it is called Ecofont. Basically, what they did was remove as much of a letter as possible while still having it remain recognizable. They accomplished this by removing small circles from within each letter. I am not sure exacty how much ink you will save, but you will use less.

You can download the font from this location:

Once the font has been installed, you will find it under the name Spranq eco sans.
