In what can only be described as an impressive 0 piece of research, a schoolboy in the USA has
calculated that the state and federal governments could save getting on for $400m a year by changing
the typeface they use for printed documents.
Shocked by the number of printed handouts he was receiving from his teachers, the 14-year old boy
decided to investigate the cost. He established that ink 1 represents/measures/equals/indicates up to
60% of the cost of a printed page and is, gram for gram, twice as expensive as some famous perfumes.
He then started looking at the different typefaces and discovered that,
by 2 varying/modifying/adapting/switching to one called Garamond with its thin, elegant strokes, his
school district could reduce its ink 3 application/intake/capacity/consumption by 24% annually.
Working on that 4 belief/basis/impression/thought , the federal savings would be enormous.
5 fundamentally/seemingly/interestingly/unusually , earlier studies of
the 6 issue/concern/aspect/discussion of font choice have shown that it can affect more than just cost.
The typeface that a document uses also 7 guides/rules/dominates/influences how much of the
information is 8 preserved/retained/accumulated/gathered and whether it is worth taking seriously.

before I can change my mind I’m 14__________ the move, but not going where I want to. I hear my
teacher shouting ‘Paddle paddle’; I try but, 15_______ my best efforts, I don’t make much progress.
‘You need to paddle on both sides,’ he says, ‘because 16______ you’ll go around in circles. Copy me.’
And finally I’m moving in the same direction as everyone else and it feels amazing.
