[Tex/LaTex] Searching for a font with special ampersand

ampersandfonts

I want to use a special ampersand in a document. I’m therefore looking for, and failing to find, a font that contains an ampersand that looks as follows:

specimen (That is, a slashed, rounded “E” letter.)

(For the record, this is the “Chalkduster” font, and it’s too casual for my use; I’m not searching for a script typeface.)

I distinctly remember having seen a sans serif typeface that featured such an ampersand but I am unable to find it again. For the record, Detexify doesn’t turn up anything either.

Either of two things would help me:

  1. Can somebody identify a commonly-available or freely available typeface that includes such an ampersand?
  2. Does anybody know how I could “draw” this character using LaTeX, in a way that would make it usable as a character?

(This is also an experiment: is such a question on-topic enough for the site? Feel free to state your opinion in the comments, and vote to close if you’re so inclined.)

Halvorsen (below)? You should probably ask at the typophile.com forums.

Edit how about Graphite? Casual, but not as casual as chalkduster?
