I was sketching around this morning and wondered if anyone had ever seen a font with a lowercase g that was two-story style but with a disconnected descender, like so:
The image up there is something I slapped together in Photoshop, since I can't think of or find any fonts that have a similarly styled g.

Paul Renner's original Futura g, available as Architype Renner from The Foundry.
That is truly an awesome g.
And a crazy i as well. Thanks.

There's Klingon by BA Graphics.
can't think of any retail releases.
here are a couple of other things
I saw a g like that a while back, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was and where. So this is a pretty useless comment, but maybe I'll remember what it was later. ;)
Jack Usine's Vidange, which was the featured font here on Typophile not too long ago, has an (IMO, awesome) disconnected "g".

OK, I found another (borderline legible) one by digging through some old threads. This makes Renner's original Futura "g" above look complex:

A-ha! Thanks for the replies. Good to know I'm not crazy in thinking the disconnected g is a cool idea.
I was playing around with the pen tool today after I made the g I posted, just to see what the disconnected descender would look like in a string of text (this was before there were any replies):
Not actually a bad stylistic choice, IMO.

> And a crazy i as well.
Believe it or not, it’s an r.
Whoa, I would never have guessed it was an r out of context...weird.
