Definition: An ambigram is a graphical figure that spells out a word not only in its form as presented, but also in another direction or orientation. i.e. When rotated 180 degrees.
I have started to appreciate ambigrams because they are unique, unconventional and offer more typographic freeedom from a design perspective. Below are several ambigrams I have seen over the last few months.
