&&&

The ampersand I have chosen from the 'Coming Together' font varies in weight from bold to fine lines, the fine lines which swirl around the symbol make it quite feminine and make it look more like a humanist letter form. The use of the bold weight in the design take away the calligraphy style and make it more digital, the use if this clearly show that the symbol is, &. 
The ascender gets finer and becomes the details around the symbol as well as part of it. If the scale was decreased then it would make it look squashed and it would be very difficult to see the intricate lines but you maybe able to still make the symbol out. 
The 'ET' can be seen however not very clearly the design has to be analysed to make it out . The whole design reminds me slightly of the art nouveau movement as the delicate detail which has been added to make the symbol more pleasing to look at also, the feminine feel to the design emphasises this as well.

  1. I can't see the & because the image is gone, plus you haven't answered the questions asked.
