A few years ago a friend happened across a job-lot of antique wooden printers’ blocks and her entrepreneurial spirt saw a business opportunity.

She wanted to use the beautiful letterforms to create striking typographic art and asked us to design a business card based around the name Ampersand.

Our solution was to emboss a condensed ampersand out of a weathered brown paper stock so that it looked like a wooden block itself.

A rubber stamp was also designed for use on invoices and parcels.
