Enviro Friendly Can – The NNew Can Concept: You Can Twist the Can

The NNew Can designed by Jiwoon Park and Kwenyoung Choi. The consumer is motivated to crush the can as it looks fun to do, and it definitely helps with saving space in the recycling bin!

EcoFont

A new, free, downloadable font designed to reduce ink-usage in offices. The Ecofont is based on the Vera Sans, an Open Source letter, and is available for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. It reduces ink requirements by strategically placed holes which make it best used at around 10pt for standard office requirements such as Word Processing, email etc. and works best in OpenOffice, AppleWorks and MS Office 2007

“After Dutch holey cheese, there now is a Dutch font with holes as well.”

Appealing ideas are often simple: how much of a letter can be removed while maintaining readability? After extensive testing with all kinds of shapes, the best results were achieved using small circles. After lots of late hours (and coffee) this resulted in a font that uses up to 20% less ink.”
