Saving The Planet One Hole AT A Time

Wow… I just thought this was a dope ass font when I stumbled across it, but now I’m really feeling it. Dutch company SRANQ conceptualized a font that uses less font while maintaining readability in an effort to save ink.

With the Ecofont SPRANQ hopes to increase environmental awareness as well as increasing customer awareness about printing behavior. They recognize that printing is both a waste of ink and paper and their hope is to inspire software giants and printer manufacturers to innovate in an environmentally conscious manner.

They tried lots of possible ink-saving-options. From extra thin letters to letters with outlines only. They experimented with using various shapes: dashes, squares, triangles and even asterisks. In the end the circle was choosen as the best option.

You can download the ecofont into your font folder here for FREE!!

Note- The Ecofont works best when using font size 9 or 10. The results vary depending on your software.
