So, I went looking and found out it was a ligature. Since then I have become very interested in ligatures, love them, and typography in general. Maybe I'll dedicate my first typeface to you.
respect for keeping it in mind and finsing out more about it, then

ligatures are often neglected by "modern" typograhie, which is sad, really.
i wish i had been accepted at university for design, i could have become a great typographer, but hey...wasn't meant to be. so there..
