Yay! A lovely typeface and a lovely ampersand! With all of the concave indentations on the outer edges of the stroke this ends up being quite the complicated figure. I love how angular and pointed this guy is, yet the two counters are so simple. This ampersand has a nice solid base, it feels very sturdy and has a great presence.
