The Ampersand

Bickham Script Pro Ampersand

I’ve been working on a logo that requires an ampersand as part of the design so have been looking through different fonts. I like ampersands, and this is officially my current favourite, Bickham Script Pro Italic.

The other one I’ve been toying with using is Baskerville Italic. Seems like the italic versions of ampersands are much nicer in most cases than the regular versions.

Free Fonts

Museo Sans Font

One thing I’m always on the lookout for are nice free fonts. This article over at the excellent Smashing Magazine lists some really nice ones that could be very useful. I downloaded several of them including the one used in the image, Museo Sans which I particularly like.
