an #ampersand for world #ampersandday & this one is a bit plain & yet probably familiar to most UK residents

carved #ampersand on this 1880s (?) shop front is curiously rectangular…

Eckhart Color, one of our favorite layer-font families. So many beautiful possibilities.

From a book printed in 1498 - manicules (also called ‘fists’) pointing the way.
