Nick Sherman sent me this poster he designed for myfonts.com. Pretty cool stuff. He also sent in this really enormous wood type ampersand from the Hamilton Wood Type and Printing Museum. I mean just look at that beast.
A scribal abbreviation for and. Derived from the Latin word "et."

I like the ampersand. I think it is often the most attractive character of them all. This blog is an attempt to give this humble ligature the respect it deserves. If you would like to submit some ampersand-related content, please let me know.
