Elegantly Dressed Wednesday: The Ampersand
I’ve always adored the ampersand, originally because it reminded me of the treble clef. Nowadays I like it because it is often the one flamboyant figure in an otherwise austere typeface.
The ampersand above is rather to narrow at its head for my taste, but I love the elegant simplicity of the black figure on the circular plate. At first glance it looks like a typewriter key.
The plate is by cul de sac and I found it one one of my favourite new blogs: The Ampersand.
