  I see this stuff everywhere, but never with an ampersand.
  I really like that Kevin has tagged this: Does anyone want to make a crappy mumblecore movie and use this bro’s handwriting in the credits?

  A fine specimen.

  Close-up.
  This weekend I took a little trip to the pet cemetery in the Presidio. There were plenty of ampersands along with other fine examples of home-grown typography.
  You can find more info here or you can just view my gallery here.

The Ampersand

A scribal abbreviation for and. Derived from the Latin word "et."

About

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.
