Very cool (although highly limited in use).

And in case anybody's wondering why I don't mind this case of Latinization: Chinese culture isn't exactly under threat at the moment... Also, designers of oriental scripts do need to start thinking more freely (chiro-apologists need not apply).

Bits of those glyphs seem to be lifted directly from Wilhelm Klingspor Gotisch.

Edit: Actually, they sort of acknowledge that by printing the entire Latin alphabet from that face. I guess the new glyphs are meant to be a direct expansion of the face.
