ok, it saves black ink maybe, but look at how much more white ink is needed

This is horrible typography. If you want to reduce ink use by 20%, try printing in 80% black, using a typeface with a small x-height, or using a typeface with a light or ultra-light varitation.

I downloaded the font and compared it with Arial 11pt – which is what I generally use.

The kerning and leading of the font, as well as the size – the Eco-Font 11pt appears much larger when printed than the Arial 11pt – resulted in a document that was probably 20% larger.

Doesn’t really make sense to save 20% on the ink or toner when you could be using more sheets of paper.
