The ampersand has always been one of my favorite characters. In many good typefaces it usually has a little more personality than the rest of the character set and is always fun to design with. The Ampersand is a nice blog dedicated to the little guy where users submit pictures of any type of ampersand they come across. Above are some of my favorites from the site, especially that last one from House Industries.
