From the 'Coming Together' font designed in 2010 with all proceeds going to doctors without borders to assist with the Haiti earthquake appeal. The font consists of 483 ampersands. I chose this ampersand. To me, this ampersand appears as two letters. An 'E' and a 'T' combined.(Only after reading chapter 6 of Simon Garfield did this become much more obvious) The two characters are bold upper case letters which have been assembled together to create 'and'.

The 'E' is larger; however the stem of the 'E' conjoins with the stem of the 'T'. The two characters are completely consistent in width throughout the design and the weight appears the same displaying a strong solid appearance. I would say the type classification of this ampersand is transitional sans serif.To me, this ampersand appears equal and balanced  despite the size difference of the two characters as they seem almost united and part of each other. The characters seem completely connected to one and other. Although 'E' and 'T' are two completely dissimilar looking characters. It seems to me like the blend together here.
