Cusp is a display font that was initially inspired by austere Art Deco lettering. After the capitals were refined, then the lowercase was designed with a bit of techno flair. From these basic letterforms a variety of styles were created, ranging from the rigid De Stijl to the whimsical Loose.
The result is a versatile display font system that allows the user to mix, match, and overlay the letters from the different styles for a dynamic effect. Cusp includes 2 overlay fonts that are designed specifically so that one can create graffiti-like multi-layered effects.
Cusp is a super-kawaii display family of 16 fonts plus 2 overlay fonts. Highly varied styles include Square, Bevel, Loose, De Stijl, Rounder, Half Round, Globular and Dots.
