Collapse
Condensed serif rooted in anime title-card aesthetics
Collapse is a condensed serif family designed by Axel Keussel Andre at Blaze, released in 2024. Loosely inspired by the title typography of Neon Genesis Evangelion, it departs toward something more severe and expressive. The design sustains a tension between restraint and aggression across its weight range, from delicate lighter cuts to heavy, confrontational strokes. It supports Latin European languages and ships as TTF, WOFF, and variable files.

Insights
- The design cites Neon Genesis Evangelion's opening titles as a loose reference then deliberately diverges rather than reproducing it.
- Opposing qualities—rigid/fragile, elegant/intense—are described as structurally intentional to the condensed form.
- Weight is framed as an expressive spectrum spanning mood rather than purely optical size.
