Measuring Type.

Have you ever wondered how much ink a certain typeface uses? Is there a typeface that uses less ink and would therefore be more Earth friendly and economical? Matt Robinson and Tom Wigglesworth wondered the same thing, so they drew out large scale renditions of the typeface with ballpoint pens, the remaining ink shows which typeface is the most economical. Brillant.

Will this have an ‘impact’ on the typeface that you choose?
