Ampersand (&) Typographic Wedding White Literary. OK, I'm going to cheat a little bit. This is not really Southern but in my former career as an Art Director in advertising I did a lot of work as a typographer, that is, I spent a lot of time thinking about what typeface would work the best in communicating the message for my clients. This is a beautiful example of an ampersand that we all use in our shorthand writing these days.

A more historical definition of the ampersand is that it's a conflation of the phrase "and per se and", meaning "and [the symbol which] by itself [is] and".[1] The Scots and Scottish English name for & is epershand, derived from "et per se and", with the same meaning.

This is just a great piece to put in your reading nook, library or home office. It's also a great gift item for that special literary person in your life. Or perfect for a wedding or engagement photo.
