SPRANQ, a company from Holland, announced that it invented a new environmentally friendly font named Ecofont. Ecofont is a newly designed font featuring small circular holes in letters. Having holes inside printed letters may help cut ink usage by as much as 20%. The use of the new font can reduce significantly ink printing expenses and, thus, the Dutch company believes, it will help spread environmental awareness.
Previously, SPRANQ has already experimented with fonts by offering zebra-like and partial letter font models. As the company's founder Gerjon Zomer says, it's necessary to preserve the size and outline of letters to keep them readable. By making analogy with Swiss-made cheese, the company came up with a holed-letter design. The new Ecofont is effective in 9 or 10 sizes on paper.
SPRANQ provides Ecofont free for home users and for businesses at its website www.ecofont.eu.
