Distressed Ronud 1 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Acumin' by Adobe, and 'Miguel De Northern' by Graphicxell (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, condensed display face built from stout, mostly vertical strokes and blunt terminals. The letterforms read like simplified slab-serif and woodtype-inspired shapes, with slightly uneven widths and irregular sidebearing rhythm. Distressing appears as chipped edges, pitted counters, and worn patches that break up solid black areas, giving a printed-by-hand or beat-up-stamp look. Counters stay fairly open for the weight, but interior damage adds texture and reduces uniformity across repeats.
Best suited for large-format headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where the distressed texture can read clearly and contribute character. It also works well for entertainment and themed graphics—such as music, craft goods, or rustic/heritage branding—where an intentionally rough print aesthetic is desirable.
The overall tone is rugged and loud, with a gritty, workwear energy that feels part saloon poster, part distressed stencil/press print. It projects toughness and a bit of mischief—more “hand-printed headline” than refined editorial typography.
The design appears intended to evoke worn woodtype and aged letterpress impressions, combining condensed, blocky structure with deliberate damage for instant texture and attitude in short, high-impact text.
Texture is strong enough to become a defining feature at display sizes, while small sizes may lose clarity as the distressing fills in or fragments fine openings. Numerals follow the same bold, worn construction, helping keep mixed alphanumeric settings visually cohesive.
