Typography: Phonetikana from Johnson Banks

The coolest article I read on the Internet last week was from the blog of Johnson Banks, a London based design studio. Titled ‘Phonetikana’, it is about a project they are working on, where they try to “combine the English language and Japanese script in some way”.

The words 'Uniqlo' and 'Michael' as written in Phonetikana.

What’s really amazing about it is that with this combined typeface, you will be able to pronounce Japanese words almost like the Japanese do without even having to learn to read their script!
