THE DAYS WERE GOLDEN

Features

and the good Frey dropped peace and plenty everywhere, and men went in and out and feared no wrong. King Volsung had a dwelling in the midst of fertile fields and fruitful gardens.

Features

Fairer than any dream was that dwelling. The roof was thatched with gold, and red turrets and towers rose above. The great feast-hall was long and high, and its walls were hung with sun-bright shields; and the door-nails were of silver.

Features

In the middle of the hall stood the pride of the Volsungs,—a tree whose blossoms filled the air with fragrance, and whose green branches, thrusting themselves through the ceiling, covered the roof with fair foliage. It was Odin’s tree, and King Volsung had planted it there with his own hands.

Information

Collapse is an austere and melancholic condensed serif, crafted with an air of stark pessimism. Loosely inspired by the iconic serif typeface seen in the opening titles of Neon Genesis Evangelion, it draws upon the haunting atmosphere of that series while quickly diverging into something more expressive, more severe. This typeface embodies a tension between restraint and rebellion, its sharp edges and compressed form evoking an unsettling beauty. Collapse plays with the contrast between elegance and intensity, making it ideal for projects that demand both sophistication and a sense of underlying urgency. From its lighter weights, which whisper with a delicate elegance, to the heavier, more aggressive strokes that command attention, Collapse offers a versatile range of moods. Whether used to capture the quiet, somber undertones of a reflective piece or to evoke a harsh, almost confrontational sense of alertness, this typeface doesn't merely convey words; it communicates emotion. Each letterform feels both rigid and fragile, as if balanced on the edge of collapse, perfectly reflecting the themes of transience and entropy. Ideal for editorial work, posters, or titles that demand a bold and evocative presence, Collapse is more than just a font—it’s a statement, a reflection of the delicate balance between structure and decay.
