The Typeface work in NGE it's amazing. Despite using the most common typefaces, you can recognize the card titles as the "Evangelion Art Style" despite only using fonts, copywriting and layout as design elements.
Plus I love how Evangelion falls into a middle of exaggerated UIs to have the "hacker look" of /r/itsaunixsystem/, and at the same an amazing level of detail that make sense in their own world.
Like when MAGI it's being hacked by the Computer Angel or SEELE, you can see they use a form of assembly and a Unix System to fight it.
And then, the MAGI system by itself it's an amazing use of redundant architecture with 3 computers that should have the same output. That a system that it's resistant to data corruption, but at the same time working as an GAN AI.
Amazing to think this it's from the 90s, and the most amazing part that those details are just 1% of what makes evangelion interesting.
I wonder if the mechanical compression is an artifict of the times, and if it wasn’t stylistic as much as for other reasons. The cards are obviously “Evangelion” but stylized fonts are really memorable, such as the 2 color gradient images, and text of final fantasy titles with white stroke.
