The ampersand was originally a ligature of the letters E and T, invented to write swiflty the latin conjunction ET, which means “and”.

Maybe because of its tensile form and its fluid swooshes the ampersand is nowadays one of the most en vogue character and quite an obsession for typophiles: so if you too are a fan, here you are  300&65 ampersand , a nice Tumblr project that displays a brand new ampersand every day.
