Author's note

Amperzand is a free formal calligraphy font with pronounced thick-and-thin strokes and a forward slant. Broad curves give the lettering a confident, practiced flow. Long tapered strokes make the silhouette especially graceful.

Wedding invitations make especially good use of its sweeping forms, which can turn names and headings into part of the occasion's ornament. The same elegant movement suits boutique branding and book covers with romantic or period-minded themes. It will appeal most to bridal, beauty, or luxury designers seeking expressive, polished pen-written script.
