Here's a quick bit of news from Swiss-born, Tokyo-based graphic designer Julien Mercier - he's just released a new font called 'Otsuki-Sama'

Available to purchase here, Otsuki-Sama is a sophisticated mix of elements from serif, and sans serif font design.

"Its elegant balance between heavy contours and subtle lines gives it a modern yet very rich look." says Julien.

We agree, lovely stuff.
