    Oh. I picked it up from the chat with a friend where I knew it was. That's so sad, it was a really incredible good article. Fortunately, it's available in Google's cache [1] (And I just made a backup with SingleFile because of the 502) [1] https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:WYjiVtFump0J:https://fontsinuse.com/uses/28760/neon-genesis-evangelion+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ar https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:WYjiVt...

  I remember! Other Gainax animes also use typefaces creatively: http://burrowowl.net/2007/08/evolution_of_a_title_screen/ http://burrowowl.net/2007/08/evolution_of_a_title_screen/

  I remember reading that post. Particular interesting for a chinese reader since the high impact visual style largely comes from the japanese kanji which strikes much more weighted than say someone who don't read chinese/japanese (it might be a subjective feeling) can perceive. Interestingly the japanese kanji fonts have a very tiny slight difference than the fonts we use. It's not exactly the calligraphy. They definitely do visual style right and impressive.
