Heads up/placeholder post for set 21060…again, we will need two versions for completeness.

I assume it will be the same Cera Pro font for the Roman glyphs, and it looks like the Kanji characters are Adobe's Source Han Sans JP Regular (perhaps graphically condensed).

Yes Roman glyphs are using Cera Pro Regular font (https://www.typemates.com/fonts/cera-pro)

I'm thinking I'll finally get the 21060 tiles worked up soon. Meanwhile, a reminder that the 21058 tiles patiently await your votes on the PT.  Wink

(Maybe by then we'll have a glimpse at the Notre Dame set and its tiles…)

The choice of Notre Dame is annoying given many other, better choices (Taipei 101, Patronas Towers, or anything from South America). Another, minor nit is that choosing it goes against stated LEGO policy.

My understanding is that it's going to coincide with the grand re-opening of the cathedral, so that at least makes sense. (That the Architecture sets tend to be tied to some kind of cross-promotion goes right back to the theme's founding, even if it was originally more for purely architectural subjects than tourist attractions. But it's true, I would like to see more Robie Houses and Imperial Hotels—I wouldn't even mind a large-scale re-issue of the Space Needle.)

It's also my sense that, to the extent that there is a stated LEGO policy on religious subjects, the emphasis that's been placed on it has come far more from the fandom than from the company itself. I'm not even sure whether it's still written among their many current policies—it's certainly not among the top Google hits, anyway. But even if it is, it's probably more of a guideline for profitability than an ethical stance, in the company's view at least.

It's a bit similar to the never-ending debate over whether the word "LEGO" is singular or plural, when in fact the point everyone misses is that it's an adjective and not a noun. Tongue

But yes, I know, this is hardly the forum for matters such as these. Angel

I do not defend it because I'm French Big Grin but I can understand that they do an exception for Architecture sets where the most interesting is not the religious aspect but the architecture of the building itself. Also this would not be the first time as they already issued Taj Mahal sets.

Also to be noted that they already expose a big replica of Notre Dame within Paris Lego Store since its opening in 2016:
It can be seen from 02:00 in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xub4KRe13gQ

And looking for the topic I found this blog post from 2009 mentioning the few official sets with religious content up to that year: https://godbricks.blogspot.com/2009/05/official-lego-sets-with-religious.html
