Bluu Suuperstar’s letters have a tall x-height, and the diamond dots are a chief characteristic of the design. These aren’t only found on the “i” and “j,” but also in punctuation marks and diacritics, too. The lowercase “l” in each font includes a notch at the x-height on its left-hand side; this mimics the wedge-shaped serifs found at the tops of so many of the typeface’s lowercase letters, but it is also a nice nod to history. Notches like these are found in several blackletter designs; but most-famously in the “romain du roi” created for Louis XIV. Nothing in Bluu Suuperstar is soft or cuddly; this is a sharp typeface, and you could cut yourself on its letters. Even lesser-used characters like the fonts’ guillemots have energy; in Bluu Suuperstar, they look like folding knives, or bolts of electricity. Bluu Suuperstar’s italics have their own letter-construction model; they aren’t slanted versions of the upright letters. The result is calligraphic and dynamic, without referencing a particular typographic precedent. In the italics, the lowercase “a” and “g” are single-storied. Several italic letters include loops, like on the top-right of lowercase “k” or the bottom of “g” and “y.” The italic lowercase “f” has a descender – almost as if the letter had grown a tail.
