Ampersand

I’m a big fan of beautiful ampersands. While I’m certainly not a type designer, custom type really interests me and I’ve been diving into it purely as a learning experience. I decided it was time to give a go at creating a custom ampersand and the following is the result of that exercise. It’s certainly not the best, and there are already lots of things about it I’d like to tweak, but it was a fun experience and I hope to continue exploring the world of lettering and typography.

Here is a splendid tumblog that has a different ampersand for every day of the year. As well as a great post from SimpleBits on using the best ampersands on your website.
