Ampersand: How to Prettify Web Typography

Posted by Alex in Blog & Internet on August 15, 2008 at 12:07 am


There’s something unusually attractive about the ampersand (heck, there’s even a blog dedicated to it, as posted on Neatorama a while back).

Dan Cederhom of SimpleBits has a neat web design how-to post explaining how you can prettify your web text to use default fonts on Mac and Windows that have interesting ampersands (instead of the ho-hum Verdana’s &).

    How do you find such curious blogs?

    Ampersands make me randy. Especially that Baskerville one. Ooh-la-la.

    But where's the octothorpe love? What about the interrobang?! (get it?)
