Figure 1 – And there are more good things to come… (c) DE Wolf 2016.

I am always looking for cool geometrics to photograph with my IPhone and yesterday I ran into this simple sign. It was my favorite kind of sign, namely translucent white. It bore a very simple message “And there are more good things to come…” Literally in this particular store, as the arrow indicates, these are upstairs. But that aside, I am taking this as a deeper, more existential message. Don’t despair AND there are more good things to come.

Obviously, I have dramatized the typographical geometric elements and emphasized the contrast. All of this to emphasize the simple elegance of the ampersand and its cheerful message to a world dominated by the @ symbol.
