The word ‘et’ is also the latin word for “and” and the ‘e’ and the ‘t’ were rendered together as a ligature to create a beautiful ampersand. Also, the phrase “and per se and” blurred together creates the word “Ampersand”. The original Roman cursive alphabet ended with “&” instead of “z” (......x, y, z, &). The ampersand is a beautiful part of history that we see everyday. Look closely at our collection to see some examples of ET and how it's shape transformed over time.
