Here is my own interpretation of the ampersand symbol. I chose to transform the original curvy nature of the symbol into a more straight-lined one. And I also added some additional turns just to complete the design. I like this design a lot because it contains this subtle beauty of simplicity and balance of lines that makes it very pleasing to the eye. The weight of the strokes took me a while to find but eventually I settled on one that is just starting to encompass the negative spaces but not quite yet. And the placement and sizing of the symbol on the page is just right. Any bigger of smaller would have marred the designed. I am quite proud of this piece of work and it can hopefully make it into a new family of fonts in the near future.
