A love of Ampersands

A love of Ampersands


At the end of the 36 Days of Type an ampersand challenge was added. I love ampersands. If you didn’t know, the origin of the ampersand comes from the Latin conjunction “et”, meaning “and”. The symbol came from a combination of the lowercase letters “e” and “t”.

I couldn’t just create one ampersand. I would actually love to do a whole series of different ampersand symbols in this style.

I have really loved creating these letterforms and have some ideas about how I can take them further so watch this space.
