Four signal languages
Move between a scanning band, editorial slices, chromatic registration, and a softly bending transmission.
Type & interference
Glitch Typography
Distort the signal, not the message. Build scan, slice, RGB, and transmission effects with slower cycles and art-directed color separation.
STAY CURIOUS
Interference with restraint
Glitch type that keeps the words in control.
Create launch graphics, title cards, event identities, and technology headlines with deliberate signal artifacts instead of frantic random flicker.
Art direction, not randomness
Control typography, alignment, channels, cycle length, interference strength, slice rhythm, scanlines, and grid texture.
Safer motion defaults
Presets use slow transform-based cycles with no rapid full-frame flashing and include a stable reduced-motion presentation.
Three-step workflow
How to use the Glitch Type studio
- Write the transmission
Enter the real headline and preserve intentional line breaks while choosing a type voice and alignment.
- Shape the interference
Pick scan, slice, RGB, or signal behavior, then tune the color channels and slow-cycle movement.
- Export readable code
Copy scoped HTML and CSS or download a standalone page. A semantic text layer remains available to assistive technology.
Questions, answered.
Does this effect use rapid flashing?
No. The controls enforce cycles of at least 1.8 seconds, and the designs move clipped color layers without flashing the whole canvas.
Is the exported headline accessible?
Yes. A readable semantic copy is retained while duplicate visual channels are hidden from assistive technology.
Does it require JavaScript or a library?
No. The exported effect is entirely CSS-driven and has no external dependency.
What does reduced-motion mode show?
It stops all animation, removes the moving scanner, and leaves a legible headline with a subtle static channel treatment.
