Elegant Fonts for Great Ampersand Designs
28 Comments
Great ampersand fonts can be pretty tough to find, what’s a ampersand? Well it’s the “and” sign? ( & ), and it seems everyone loves using this little fellow in all sorts of cool ampersand designs, however I keep seeing the same ampersand font face, if you are a designer you’re probably familiar with the accused, but I digress, since it’s an great elegant font and works especially well for ampersand fonts - I’m guilty of adding it & similar fonts to the list.
Most ampersand fonts listed are licensed, meaning you may have to purchase them, some are free fonts, however, most of the great fonts are also packed with certain applications, so check if you have the font on your windows pc or mac before downloading.
Most of these elegant font’s are not web safe, you should either use an image, or a font replacement technique, like Cufon, Typekit, or see if it’s on Google’s Font Directory, Smashing Magazine also has a great list.
Most fonts are available in .otf and .ttf for use with the CSS3 @font-face property.

I think there’s something wrong with the Elephant link. Unless that “&” under ‘Elephant’ is not it.
Hi Amy, thanks for pointing that out, I got the font as part of a software package, I have updated the elephant font link to the correct URL, it’s a paid font, but available for ‘free’ in 13 software packages, most noticeably, Office 2007 ;)
Hi, im opening a beauty salon and im decorating it in a french style,looking for a font that will suite the decor for my signage and logo, any ideas
@Dale, I would have to look at your signage and logo to see what works with it, but I’d imagine any of the font’s above would work nicely if your going for a more elegant / classy look.

Do you think you could recommend a good reference book or source for me to start identifying these little printing blocks? Thanks.
