How does the 14-year-old boy want to 'change the font' to save $ 400 million for the US to shake up the world now?

In 2014, the 14-year-old Suvir Mirchandani wanted to make a plan for the US government to change the font to save hundreds of millions of dollars of printing money every year, making the public in the country 'waving'.

According to Suvir Mirchandani, by volume, ink is twice as expensive as French perfume. And in fact, this calculation is absolutely correct. Specifically, every ounce (30 ml) of Chanel No.5 perfume costs $ 38, with the same volume of ink running for Hewlett Packard in the US can cost up to $ 75.

He used both physical and software methods to demonstrate how the current use of fonts consumes terrible ink.

Specifically, Suvir tested writing letters with four Garamond, Times New Roman, Century Gothic and Comic Sans fonts and then used the commercial version of APFill® Ink Coverage Software to measure ink levels. The results show that, using Garamond, a slimmer font, the school can save 24% of ink every year, equivalent to $ 21,000.

And if this font is widely used throughout the United States, the amount of ink can save up to about 400 million dollars per year.
