The Clampersand is back! The first physical pun of pure Core77 origin was originally designed by Tony Ruth in a Lunchbreath Coretoon, and it's now available in solid glittering brass. This limited edition is sand cast at the historic Batavia Foundry outside of Chicago, and hand finished for a glinting matte surface.
When it left the digital page, the Clampersand was imagined as a great way to make visual jokes or keep a bookshelf grammatically interesting. Clamp books together as a physically punctuated list of favorites, or leave it standing proud to accompany paired objects. Your salt & pepper, perhaps?
The Brass Clampersand makes a great gift for that brassy, type-obsessed friend whose feelings about kerning go well past the point of function or good taste. That letter-lover with a list of preferred typefaces as ardently specific as a high schooler's list of favorite bands. This cool clamp isn't just a fun pun, it's a serifed trophy for folks with a serious love of words.
In now at Hand-Eye Supply for $85.
