Ligatures used to improve the appearance of type are usually character pairs or triplets that have features that tend to overlap when used together.

Fabien Barral Business Card 

Since 2009 Fabien Barral has redesigned and produced a new set of business cards each year. This year he decided to have some fun by letterpressing his cards using a split fountain. If you are not familiar with the term, this is when you let 2 or more inks blend when on press creating unique impressions that can’t be controlled.
