It is important to understand, though, that this is not a language. The font was designed by design Director Georg Brewer, with input from DC's Superman office and had a similar style and feel to the Byrne symbols used since 1986. In 2000, DC Comics released a substitution font for Kryptonian (available on the fonts page) which they began using in their comic books to depict the Kryptonian language. It wasn't until 2000 that DC began depicting the Kryptonian language in a way that actually contained meaning. These symbols still carried no meaning in and of themselves. The Bridwell alphabet was abandoned in favor of more geometrically-shaped "letters" that matched the new look and feel of Krypton. John Byrne re-envisioned Superman's origin, including all things Kryptonian, in the limited run series Man of Steel. In 1986, Superman got a reboot with Crisis on Infinite Earths.
