The idea behind the album cover belongs to graphic designer Kate Hepburn for Disques Dreyfus.
Maybe she's the only one who knows what it really is, if not a creation out of pure fantasy?

I suppose its part of the drawing on the front cover. I doubt an actual font set was made.

It's inpired by the masks and make-up of the traditional Chinese theater.

I must confess that I copied the letters out of a scanned cover, to make my own sentences in the video and modified some of them 8)

It's a really cool font, maybe we could make all the letters form different covers? I haven't seen "Orient Express" before. We might have all the letters :D
