In response to the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the Society of Typographic Aficionados issued a call to action to the typographic and design communities to participate in Font Aid IV. The result was Coming Together, an OpenType font that contains over 400 ampersand glyphs designed by participants from around the world. All proceeds from the sale of the typeface go to Doctors Without Borders, in support of continuing relief efforts in Haiti.

Close to 400 people from 37 countries submitted an ampersand design to this font.

One of the things I love the most about you guys is that you send me ampersand links all the time - keep 'em coming!

Jack and Till directed me the ampersand collection on Veer. I made no hesitation to purchase this collection of 400 Ampersands.

These WILL be used in wedding invitations.
