Hopeless Diamond is a contemporary display type inspired by the dimensionality of 19th Century carved lettering and signage. Our initial designs were reminiscent of the radical forms of the B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber and the F-117 Nighthawk Stealth Strike Aircraft which provided an additional arena for inspiration. The name itself is taken from an earlier model of the F-117 that was called the ‘Hopeless Diamond’ due to its unusual structure and departure from aerodynamic doctrine.

Hopeless Diamond is available in 3 varieties, each composed of 4 styles; Regular, Alternate, and accompanying Italics.
Available in OpenType, PostScript and TrueType formats from virusfonts.com
