It’s an Ampersand Conf again in 2018<\/h3>\n

The Ampersand conference<\/a> is one of the conferences I looked at secretly for quite some time. A conference about typography. Typography is a secret love of mine. I do admire typography but unfortunately have no real knowledge about it. I know I should as I call myself a “designer”.<\/p>\n

(And I still feel unkomfortable when I call myself a designer – that will be another blog post probably).<\/h6>\n

And check out the website<\/a>. I mean check out the HTML and CSS.<\/p>\n

\"Typography
Typography of the Ampersand Logo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is the HTML for the AMPERSAND logo. It is not a PNG or SVG, it’s text. It is:<\/p>\n

<span aria-hidden=\"true\">\r\n <b>A<\/b><b>M<\/b><b>P<\/b><b>E<\/b><b>R<\/b><b>S<\/b><b>A<\/b><b>N<\/b><b>D<\/b>\r\n <\/span><\/pre>\n
I confess, it felt a bit strange first.<\/p>\n
But check out the CSS. The first letter is<\/p>\n
transform<\/span>:\u00a0rotate(-4deg)<\/span>;<\/pre>\n
The second letter is<\/p>\n
transform<\/span>:\u00a0rotate(-2deg)<\/span>;<\/pre>\n
and so on.<\/p>\n
Every letter is pampered with a unique CSS style. It’s not a font. They styled the rotation of ever letter!! Muaaaaaaaaaah.\u00a0 \u00a0SUPER<\/strong>\u00a0Sexy<\/strong>.\u263a\u00a0?\u2764<\/p>\n
Yeah, yeah & yeah. I will attend.<\/h3>\n
There wasn’t a Ampersand Conference since 2015<\/a>. So I nearly forget about it. So I was excited as I read about it on Twitter.<\/p>\n
