Collapse

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.
