The way we see things

By now, quite a few of you are aware of our new shirts. You may have seen them on Glyph employees or Glyph friends and family. Or you may have gotten one in the mail.

Since the cat is out of the bag (so to speak), we thought we'd tell you a little bit about our new shirts.

Although maligned by grammar school teachers when used to start a sentence, the conjunction “and” is one of the most useful words in any language. Want to finish a list? Try “and.” Tired of using “also”? Try “and.” Want to connect grammatically coordinate words, phrases or clauses? Try “and.” 

The Ampersand (&) is a ligature of the letters of the Latin word “et” for “and” and is equally useful for scribes in a hurry.

We’ve taken this conjunction and painstakingly translated it into over 150 languages – from Afrikaans to Zulu, with Amharic, Inuktitut, Nyanja and Telugu thrown in for good measure.

Designed by Glyph and printed on a shirt made from organic cotton or organic cotton and recycled polyester.
