No! Don't put the line going up there! It's going to bump into the ampersand! The box needs to be 1 square higher and 1 square wider, to the right!! It's all wrong!

Sorry, I had to get that out. Been seeing it in my dribbble feed for a while and I just couldn't help myself. Anyway, the ampersand looks awesome. Looks like one of my faves (Caslon Italic). Good work.

Lol, thanks. You're absolutely right about the line. =) It was one of my standard templates, and I ended up going "outside the box" with this one.

Caslon Italic was indeed the inspiration. Caslon, Garamond, and Baskerville as some of my favorite fonts, so it definitely comes through in this serif font I'm developing.

@Sean - Ha, cool. I do love a bit of Caslon. Sorry to unleash my perfectionist fury for a minute there. You're developing a serif font? Sounds great, looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Yes, you can see a few more on my typography tag, or there's a preview of more letters.

I have mostly posted in-progress letter shots on twitter so as not so spam the dribbble stream. =)
