Designed by Vic Carless, Shatter assembles together slices of Helvetica to make a typeface that seems to be in motion, or broken and in pieces.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Winch|first1=Andrew|title=Vic Carless Obituary|url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2011/oct/02/vic-carless-obituary|newspaper=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=19 October 2014|archive-date=4 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150904125626/http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2011/oct/02/vic-carless-obituary|url-status=live}}</ref> It was published by [[Letraset]] after jointly winning their 1973 competition to design new fonts.<ref name="Letraset International Typeface Competition shatter">{{cite web|last1=Purcell|first1=Chris|title=Letraset International Typeface Competition Winners 1973|url=http://fontsinuse.com/uses/9531/letraset-international-typeface-competition-w|website=Fonts in Use|date=5 June 2015|access-date=8 June 2016|archive-date=30 July 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160730122346/http://fontsinuse.com/uses/9531/letraset-international-typeface-competition-w|url-status=live}}</ref>

Writing in 2014, Tim Spencer praised the design for its ominous effect, writing that it offered "glitch-like mechanical aggression [and] cold, machine-induced paranoia. It attacked the Establishment's preferred information typography style with a sharp edge and recomposed it in a jarring manner that still makes your eyes skitter and your brain tick trying to recompose it. Shatter literally sliced up Swiss modernist authority."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Spencer|first1=Tim|title=Kern Your Enthusiasm: Shatter|url=http://hilobrow.com/2014/08/21/kern-your-enthusiasm-21/|website=HiLoBrow|access-date=19 October 2014|archive-date=27 October 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141027105328/http://hilobrow.com/2014/08/21/kern-your-enthusiasm-21/|url-status=live}}</ref>
