Distressed Roned 3 is a bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'BR Segma' by Brink, 'Hanley Pro' by District 62 Studio, 'Brignell Sunday' by IB TYPE Inc., and 'Daikon' by Pepper Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, angular display face with faceted, polygonal construction and sharply cut corners. Strokes are mostly monolinear but interrupted by deliberate chips, notches, and ragged bite-marks along edges, creating a worn, torn-ink texture. Counters tend toward octagonal and squared forms, with simplified geometry and compact joins that keep letters dense and blocky. The overall rhythm is energetic and uneven due to the distressed detailing, while proportions remain broadly consistent for set text.
Best suited to high-impact applications where texture and attitude are desirable, such as music artwork, posters, game or film titling, and bold branding moments. It performs well in short bursts—titles, logos, and callouts—where the distressed edges can read clearly without overwhelming legibility.
The letterforms project a gritty, abrasive tone—part blackletter poster energy, part industrial stencil damage. The aggressive cuts and splintered terminals suggest intensity and menace, lending a rebellious, underground mood that reads as dark, loud, and confrontational.
The design appears intended to merge hard-edged, geometric display lettering with a consistent distressed treatment, evoking wear, damage, or rough printing while retaining a solid, blocklike silhouette for strong presence.
Uppercase shapes feel especially architectural, with chamfered corners and multi-sided curves; numerals and round letters adopt octagonal bowls that reinforce the faceted motif. Distressing is applied throughout rather than isolated to specific glyphs, so texture becomes a defining feature at both headline and short-text sizes.
