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.

I remember!

Other Gainax animes also use typefaces creatively:

502 Bad Gateway? :-)

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)
