Author's note

Broken Signal is a free glitchy bitmap font with a hard-edged, signal-loss feel. The letters look block-built and deliberately interrupted, with chunky pixel steps, missing corners, and split shapes that make the whole design feel like a scrambled broadcast rather than a clean grid.

It fits posters, game menus, mixtape covers, title cards, stream graphics, and short techno branding where a free font with visible interference helps set the mood fast. Use it for brief words and sharp headlines, especially when you want the letters themselves to carry the broken-transmission effect without extra texture or image treatment.
