Kitay means China. Idea was to find chinese characters that visually look similar to latin letters. Some who tried it used letters from existing fonts, or chose different characters.

I hope the final result is 乚幺厶工乃乚幺 enough ). Letters V,v though, still need to find a similar character...

Thanks & 廾开尸尸丫  下口冂丁与丁尺凵匸丁工门厶!

This is Great.  I agree with you about the V. And a simple square woud do better with the O. But it's surprisingly readable and it feels authentic!

Comment by Icelar 21st december 2015

Very cool, looks quite Chinese indeed. 10/10

Comment by Noah F. Ross (winty5) 21st december 2015

Fantastic!

Dang, I can imagine this being a kickass hanzi font too :)

Nitpicking: Maybe the stem of 下 could be moved a bit more to the left.

Awesome representation of real Chinese characters!

Comment by cablecomputer 22nd december 2015

For a Latin font this looks very Chinese. Congratulations on the TP.

Comment by Aeolien 22nd december 2015

Thanks everybody! 

@Icelar: I have added your suggested O as an alternative

@Noah: Thanks, it looks quite Chinese because most of the characters are real chinese words.

@Umbreon126: Thanks for the optical suggestion, I've changed it )

@Rob Meek: Thank you very much for the continuous support!

Wow, this is awesome. Love it!

希望你能再制作更多汉字,因为这里就是缺乏中文字体!不过你的书风和造字工房好像!

(I want you to make more chinese characters, because there is no chinese fonts here! But, your font's style looks like MakeFont(A Chinese font foundry)!)

@lmz123: Sadly, FontStruct does not have support for chinese characters.

Comment by Noah F. Ross (winty5) 5th january 2016

不过可以用制作成符号字体再给各个字修改编码的方式来完成!

(But you can make it by MAKE IT AS A DINGBAT FONT AND CHANGE THE CODES OF THE CHARACTERS!)

LOL @ JingYo :DD

Comment by Aeolien 28th january 2019

This is fantastic. :)

Comment by TCWhite 28th january 2019

@JingYo: 

Yeap, sorry about that :)

Everytime I write in this style to people who speak chinese, they actually start reading it in chinese :) Some think it's japanese.

This is good, but if you want to write in Chinese characters without a font, search hwayih woen. 芔佀卅是良,但倘你屲厑笝夳涾汙邚溰夳內虿溰笝籴拶偘盃邚个峇涾荋们不岙夳个佱仴笝夳卅荋虿佱戓奤屲溰籴屲汙埜笝(华裔文)。It assigns archaic Chinese characters to English sounds along with some single characters based on meaning (与, 你, 倘, 但, 不, 之). https://omniglot.com/conscripts/hwayihwoen.htm. I did not have anything to do with creating this, & I'm certainly not trying to discourage anyone from using this font.

Very beautiful and interesting font. What about Й Л Ф Ц Ч Э Ю Я? Only they are not enough to complete the Russian Cyrillic set.
