At it’s inception, the ampersand was a ligature of the letters e and t, an efficiency for the latin et, meaning “and” . That perception has since changed, and the & now stands as it’s own unique and beautiful character. Enough of that, just add this new Tumblr project to the list of sites you have to visit on the daily. AmpersandAmpersand offers up a new and lovely ampersand, seven days a week, three hundred and sixty five days a year. With big, clean glyphs (ligatures are not considered glyphs, but a quirk of the typeface) that link to each ampersand’s parent typeface, this is a perfect example of a site doing one simple thing, and doing it very well.
