The “&” symbol is a ligature for “et,” which is Latin for “and.” In this video, Howard letterpress prints several different wood type ampersands from a type case that we keep on display in our print shop. #WorldAmpersandDay #ampersand #typography #printmaking #printing #sacramento #sachistorymuseum | Sacramento History Museum | Facebook

September 8th is World Ampersand Day! Today honors the ampersand or “&” for its role in written language. The “&” symbol is a ligature for “et,” which is Latin for “and.” For today, Howard letterpress printed five different wood type ampersands in our print shop ranging from 6 line pica to 30 line pica in size. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press. #WorldAmpersandDay #ampersand #typography #museum #& #sacramento #history #letterpress #printingpress #printin
