Distressed Ragol 5 is a very bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Futura EF' by Elsner+Flake, 'Futura' and 'Futura Paneuropean' by Linotype, 'Futura ND' by Neufville Digital, 'Futura PT' by ParaType, and 'Futura Round' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, heavy sans with rounded, slightly soft corners and a noticeably irregular, worn texture throughout the strokes. Letterforms are mostly upright and compact, with simple geometric construction (round bowls and straightforward terminals) that’s been roughened by chipped edges, speckling, and uneven ink-like fill. Counters stay generally open despite the weight, and the overall rhythm reads bold and punchy, with small variations in stroke boundaries creating a stamped/printed-in-ink feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, cover art, event flyers, label and packaging fronts, and merchandise graphics where texture is an advantage. It can work for branding accents and social graphics when used at sizes large enough for the distressing to remain intentional and legible.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade energy—casual and approachable, but with a rugged, distressed edge. It suggests DIY printing, poster culture, and rough-surfaced materials, giving headlines a lively, imperfect personality rather than a polished, corporate tone.
Likely designed to deliver a bold display voice with built-in texture—mimicking worn screen print, rubber stamp, or weathered signage—so designers can achieve a distressed look without additional effects.
Distressing appears both on outer contours and within the filled areas, producing a consistent “scuffed” texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase is friendly and simple (single-storey forms where applicable), and the numerals follow the same blocky, worn aesthetic for cohesive display use.
