I don't know if it's generational or a matter of background. For me, as the sort of person who knows exactly where to find the SCE power switch, it would be impossible to conceive of this font as ugly. So much ingenuity has been expressed, so much craftsmanship given material form, so many feats of industry and exploration and mundane utility accomplished through those shapes that I find them definitively beautiful.

If some community teaches Rules of Beauty which these characters contravene and are thereby deemed ugly, that says more about the merit of such Rules than anything else.

That ampersand, though... okay. You can have that one.
