If you’re able to read what I’m writing here (in English) and a little bit of Korean, you’re automatically proficient in a new language! Called Suggu, it’s a project of Google Creative Lab’s Creative Director Ji Lee and Sue Park.
from Suggu.com:
Suggu (“Mix” in Korean) is a new alphabet mixing Hangul(Korean Alphabet) and Roman Alphabet. Because they are both Phonetic Alphabets—a writing system based on a set of symbols representing different sounds—mixing the two is possible and easy. Combine Roman Alphabet’s consonants (B, C, D, F, G…) with Hangul’s vowels (ㅏ, ㅑ, ㅓ, ㅕ…). That’s Suggu.

See if you can read this! And download the font if you want to write a little bit of Suggu of your own.

haha! i love it. a fantastic concept.
The 999 is a reference to an anime show of the 80s, (trans) Milky Way Express 999. I LOVE THAT SHOW!!!
I like the message behind Christina’s Art. We should all learn to connect with our heritage.
