However, it is familiar with Apple's logo that we do not consume inkGaramonIt seems to be.Cooper BlackIt is natural that there is a lot of ink consumption of bold fonts such as, but with a clear designHelveticaIt is unexpected that the ink consumption of (the fifth row from the top) is relatively large.


I feel that it is surprising that techniques that allow you to precisely draw fonts are more surprising than the results of experiments.
