SIGNAL LOST AT 3AM
Rubik Broken Fax looks like a page that came off a fax machine on a bad line, and all of that damage is scripted. NaN and Luke Prowse wrote filters that take every glyph of Rubik, the sans by Hubert and Fischer, Meir Sadan and Cyreal, and break it up by rule, and the code sits on GitHub under the name Glyph-Filters. Broken Fax is 1 of several Rubik filtered fonts made that way.
Rubik already had Hebrew and Cyrillic, so the filter got to them as well. A Hebrew gig poster can carry the same garbled transmission as an English one.
There is 1 style and it wants size. We would keep it above 40 px, since below that the texture starts closing up and you are left reading noise.
