"Following this tradition, young students learning their 27-letter alphabet were taught to recite from A-Z and then append the '&' by saying 'and, per se, and' at the end. Ampersand."

Did you know that the word "ampersand" has a fascinating origin story?

It actually comes from the phrase "and per se and" which was used to represent the symbol "&" in the alphabet. How cool is that?! 🤩 Next time you use an ampersand, remember its unique history!

Do I know any font nerds? I could use some advice:

If I have a special character that I'd like other designers to integrate into their fonts, where should I suggest they add it? Ideally we'd add it to a consistent spot, so people can always use the same method to find it.

In other words, if I wanted other fonts to include the andorsand (a symbol for and/or statements), where would be the best place for designers to add that character?

Starting this Mastodon thing with one of our classic designs. Philipp Zurmöhle‘s book shop VON & ZU BUCH in Nürnberg carried books that were especially well made. This is the logo symbol that combines an ampersand with the V and Z from the name of the store.

Esperlu-vite-fettes inspirées par celles de @Hypsoline mamot.fr/media/03Eb9Bmom7v4JOs

Au passage, question : elles ont des noms, les topologies « classiques » de l'esperluette, à part huit-qui-croise-en-bas et grand-E-rond-petit-t-collé ?
