Is this sentence strange?

"The notes are all computer-printed, but it's a custom font, not Wingdings or Dingbats or any other weird computer ding-dong font that no one knows even why it exists." (Cameron Edmondson, the time counter is goofy, so I can't give a time stamp)

The "it" next to the end seems odd, but I'm having trouble figuring out how else to construct the clause without replacing "that" with "and."
