Field notes
The homepage divides the project into an A–Z city series, JKT Stories comic portraits, and a book-and-merchandise section. Its visible letter examples include Dufan and Ancol, Erasmus Huis, churches, hotels, and flower markets, while several later entries remain marked as coming soon. The site says new letters appear on Instagram as carousels and Reels; stickers, souvenirs, and a quartet card game are described as in preparation or forthcoming.
