Can Fonts Be Green?

What a strange concept -- fonts that are better for the environment? It may seem odd at first, but we must remember that fonts are more than just letters on a computer screen. Quite often those letters get printed out on a sheet of paper (in fact, in our line of work, it happens all the time!) Printing takes ink (or toner), and the more you use, the more you buy. The more you use, the more plastic bottles get tossed.

So what if there were a font that used only half the amount of ink or toner as other fonts? I don't want to say much more; I'll let the people who offer this wonder-font explain it here.
