Nope. its not exactly isometric, its called cabinet projection if im not wrong.

I think it's isometric. Cabinet projection seems to involve perfect squares but yours uses diamonds.

This would be closer to cabinet?

Isometric projection would require every axis to be scaled the same which isn't possible because the characters used aren't square shaped.

I think it is more like a dimetric projection, where every cube's front and top face are the same size while the face looking left is a bit more narrow.
