Ever used the WhatTheFont website to determine what a font is? You see a picture and just NEED to know what that obscure font is. Well what happens if you’re out and about and see one on a restaurant menu, or an ad on the bus? Well grab the app for the iphone and now you can identify fonts on the run!

The Swiss Cheese of Fonts. http://industrialbrand.com/blog/spranq-the-swiss-cheese-of-fonts http://industrialbrand.com/blog/spranq-the-swiss-cheese-of-fonts#comments Tue, 13 Jan 2009 21:25:09 +0000 Alex Leynes http://industrialbrand.com/?p=3059
Dutch design firm SPRANQ has developed a new typeface that incorporates their concern for the environment. Ecofont is a typeface similar in look to Vera Sans, but resembles Swiss cheese in its makeup. The aerated font uses 20% less ink to print and is best viewed at 9 or 10 pt. Ecofont is free to use on Mac and is ClearType compatible in Windows.

Thanks to Jason Murphy for the link.
