Hello:

Sorry because the dalay of this answer but I need to ask also. You can look
at the LaTeX Font Catalogue <http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/>. If you look
under the serifed fonts section, you can tell at a glance which fonts are
'tighter' than EB Garamond; not many, but what about Venturis ADF
No2<http://www.tug.dk/FontCatalogue/venturis2/>?
Of course, it doesn't have built-in math support, but, then again, neither
does EB Garamond...

In the other hand, again about typography, one of the design criteria for
Times (New Roman) was to pack as much text legibly into narrow newspaper
columns in small type. It's narrower than most other text typefaces, which
is one of the reasons that many math publishers adopted it in the first
place. So I doubt that there are many other choices that would save a lot
of paper, especially if math is involved.

Perhaps the article you read was about saving *ink*, not paper. The
statements about ink saving are dubious, but were never about saving paper,
where Times indeed is designed to pack the text tightly. Take a look ath
this article: 
thomasphinney.com/2014/03/saving-400m-font<http://www.thomasphinney.com/2014/03/saving-400m-font/>.

Finally take a look at this question:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/60277/average-width-of-popular-tex-fonts

I hope this can help you.

Regards
