In my quest to become more versed in the design world, I have stumbled upon (and taken a liking to) typography.  It’s really amazing the little things I’ve never known or noticed until entering the abyss of the typographic world.  Every thing around us, from signs to books, to the web, is made up of letters and words set in many, many different fonts and styles.  Along with this new interest is an obsession with a simple little character, the ampersand.  It’s everywhere I look and everything I think about.  I’ve even gone so far as to study it’s history and searched out others who have the same affliction.

Tonight being Halloween, I couldn’t help but turn our last two pumpkins into ampersands belonging to two of my favorite typefaces.  Now, here’s the challenge.  The first person to correctly identify both typefaces will receive any one of my 5x7 matted prints I have available, at zero cost, no bogus shipping charge, nothing.  The only clues I will give are that they both belong to a “super family” and both are set in their bold face.  Good luck, and remember your answer must be in the form of a comment here for it to count.
