Can this Font Change the World?

Sometimes we don’t always notice the impacts small things have, and we certainly don’t think that something as tiny as a font can do anything exciting like save the world. But then we came across Ryman Eco. Not only does the font look pretty exquisite (look at that Q!), if used by everyone as the default font, it could purportedly save 490 million ink cartridges and nearly 15 million barrels of oil, the equivalent to 6.5m tonnes of CO2 emissions a year.
