The Broken Font Starts With an Impact Point

Somebody hit a pane of glass dead centre, and every glyph keeps the result. Cracks fan out from that impact star, so the shards grow larger toward the edges. Light bends through each fragment too, therefore thin rainbows run along the broken edges. Nothing fills the middle, since the glass stays clear. So the Broken Font draws its outline purely out of damage.

Almost Transparent, Which Changes Everything

On black the shards glitter and the letters appear out of nowhere. Meanwhile on white they go faint, closer to an etched drawing. So the background is not decoration here, because it does half the work. Caps, numerals, currency signs and punctuation all shatter the same way. Since every break is different, no two glyphs repeat a crack pattern.

Where the Broken Font Earns Its Place

One enormous smashed letter fills a black cover, with a red title stacked above it. Then two hardbacks stack up, both set entirely in glass. There is a black tee as well, plus a pair of long boxes in black and white. In addition, a glossy poster shows how faint it can go on a dark gradient. Naturally, thrillers, club nights, security campaigns and album art all suit it.

What Comes With the Broken Font

Install the OTF, then the glass breaks wherever you type. Each letter also arrives as a PNG with a clear background. Of course, Fragility Font uses flatter shards and skips the impact star. A Broken Life Font, by contrast, shatters solid black rather than clear glass.
