Distressed Pudeg 2 is a bold, narrow, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font.
Keywords: posters, album art, horror titles, event flyers, game branding, grunge, occult, vintage, punk, spooky, aged print, dramatic impact, texture-driven, retro mood, dark tone, ragged, blotchy, inked, worn, eroded.
A compact, heavy serif style with sharply notched terminals and strong thick–thin modulation. The silhouettes are intentionally irregular: edges look torn or over-inked, counters show occasional bite marks, and curves appear slightly lumpy as if printed from rough type. Stems are tall and condensed, with uneven bracket-like connections that read as hand-cut or distressed metal type rather than clean digital geometry. Overall texture is dense and mottled, creating a dark, gritty typographic color.
Best suited for display typography where texture is a feature: posters, album/merch graphics, festival or club flyers, book or chapter titles, and entertainment branding—especially for horror, fantasy, or gritty retro themes. It can also work for short packaging headlines or labels where a worn, printed look is desired.
The font projects a gritty, ominous energy—part antique broadside, part horror prop. Its rough printing texture suggests age, damage, and low-fi reproduction, lending a theatrical, underground tone that can feel eerie or rebellious depending on context.
Likely designed to evoke distressed vintage type—like battered letterpress, wood type, or a degraded scan—while retaining a recognizable serif structure. The goal appears to be strong impact and atmosphere through irregular edges and blotchy interior shaping rather than clean readability.
The distressed treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a noticeable “ink spread + wear” effect at display sizes. At smaller sizes the rough interior nicks and broken edges may visually fill in, so spacing and size choice will strongly influence legibility.
