Measuring Type


  A selection of the most commonly used typefaces were compared for how economical they are with the amount of ink which they use at the same point size. Large scale renditions of the typefaces were drawn out with ballpoint pens, allowing the remaining ink levels to display the ink efficiency of each typeface.

Information about information I like numbers, words about numbers, pictures about numbers, research, pretty charts, and people who can summarize the meaning of life into 1-2 paragraphs. I like my husband and my two cats. I'm an information systems major, concentrating on ERP, at the University of Arkansas. My honors thesis will probably be something to do with RFID and business processes. My greatest flaw and biggest downfall is that I have no middle name, but I try to make up for it by being a good human being.
