The Ampersand

F.A.Q.

Many people ask me what typeface I used for the image on the upper left over there.

It’s Caslon 540 Italic.

From Wikipedia:

Caslon 540 was designed by the staff of American Type Founders and released in 1902. The typeface was originally intended for use in advertising and is based on Caslon 471 with shortened descenders. It does not include a bold weight.
