About Kill la Kill
Kill la Kill is Studio Trigger's 2013 debut series, directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi and written by Kazuki Nakashima. Its telop cards set names and attack calls in Fontworks Raglan Punch, so big and so rough at the edges that the words cover the frame.
This system takes that card as its base unit: a black field, red or white kanji running edge to edge, tiny ruby on top, and hard diagonal cuts. Senketsu's black and red is the whole palette, with one cool sky panel for contrast.
