The optical design resembles that of Leica Summilux 35/1.4 for the M-mount, and the bokeh rendition also suggests its vintage design.  Interesting.
When I looked at the optical schematic on their website I thought that looked like the 1.4 35 Summilux which was a lens I always wanted to own. But recently I saw a comparison of that lens with the 35 1.4 Ais Nikkor and was happy to see that the Nikkor was sharper than the Summilx which was nice to hear because I own the Nikkor and it’s one of my favourites. It has helped me to overcome my Leica GAS which I have had since my youth but I went the Nikon route which now that I’ve gone mirrorless has proved to be a good decision after all. I still miss my 50 1.5 Summarit and one day I may pull the trigger and buy one. But not the Leica.:)

Another lens with the optical design similar to the first version of Summilux 35/1.4 is Cosina/Voigtländer Nokton Classic 40/1,4.  On the other hand, the optical design of Cosina/Voigtländer Nokton Classic 35/1.4 is rather similar to the first version of Summicron-M 35/2.0 (so-called 8-element Summicron).

Sorry, hit post before I started typing.
That 40 1.4 Voightlander lens was the lens I was really interested in. Especially because of the size and focal length being between 35 and 50, a kind of sweet spot. But now I own the 40 mm F2 Z lens and love that lens because of its focal length and its rendering. I use it on my Zfc as a long normal and enjoy it there too. Although using it on my Z5 with its original intention. I’m glad Nikon finally opted to use that focal length and from what I can see. It’s been a pretty popular lens .

Good for you to find a favorite lens anyway.
