What is a "ligature"?
A ligature is a combination of two or more letters that are joined together to form a single character or symbol. This design can enhance the aesthetics of text and improve readability by creating a more fluid connection between letters. Common examples of ligatures include "fi," "fl," and "tt," where the letters are merged to reduce visual clutter. Ligatures are significant in typography and calligraphy, as they can add elegance to written language and help maintain a consistent visual flow in text.
