I’ve been in a honeymoon phase… with the ampersand. It is the most gorgeous and elegant piece of typography I can fathom. It varies from typeface to typeface, with some that resemble the original Roman ligature and others that are more traditionally accepted Carolignian style.  I love them in ways that are all completely justified. I use them in my screen prints, in my designs, and I have several decorating my apartment…. apparently the most recent Riv stage is covered in them as well (great designers think alike.)

And just because I feel like it, I post about my love here. Of course, I must include a full history and a photo of the first ever screen print I did ages ago… clearly revolving around the ampersand.
