What is the Hopeless Diamond™ font?
Hopeless Diamond is a contemporary display typeface inspired by the sculptural muscle of 19th century carved lettering and the radical forms of the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber and the F-117 Nighthawk stealth strike aircraft. The typeface itself contains three different styles, each with an italic and an alternate character set that can be used to generate a number of interesting permutations.
The name was taken from the derisive term that test pilots used for Have Blue, a late ’70s stealth demonstration aircraft –and early prototype for the F-117— designed and built by Lockheed’s Skunkworks division. Due to its unusual shape and departure from received aerodynamic wisdom, Have Blue was referred to as the ‘Hopeless Diamond’.
