The next time you think to yourself that you’d like to do more for the environment, just remember to consider your font choices on future design projects. Matt Robinson and Tom Wriggelsworth (who has an awesome name) decided to draw out large scale type specimens of popular fonts to measure ink usage of each. They used the remaining ink in the ballpoint pens as their means of measurement. Expectedly, Impact scored low “green” marks while the comparatively lean Garamond and Courier were at the top of the class. More pictures of the process after the jump.
