Regarding Cloud Mountain Type Type Design
Cloud Mountain Type is a typeface inspired by the cloud and fog mountains of Zhang Jiajie and by ancient Chinese landscape painting. The letterforms combine traditional Chinese cloud and mountain imagery with the structure of the Latin alphabet. Each character is hand drawn and then refined with digital image software, and the typeface can be used at variable sizes. Seen very closely, the details take over and the letter becomes hard to recognize, much as the shape of a mountain cannot be seen from its summit.
