Bad Signal

Bad Signal is a distorted display font with broken shapes, noisy edges, and a glitchy broadcast feel. The letters are built to look unstable, which makes short titles and poster text feel tense, damaged, and deliberately hard-wired on screen or in print.

Woodcutter released the typeface in 2018, and the OTF file includes 236 Latin glyphs. It sits in the distorted or destroy style, which fits the cracked forms and interference-like rhythm that run through the alphabet.

Bad Signal works best for horror posters, album art, game graphics, sci-fi titles, and experimental layouts that need a damaged signal look. This free download is for personal use, while commercial licensing is available separately.
