Distressed Rakoh 3 is a very bold, narrow, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Festivo LC' by Ahmet Altun, 'Cream Opera' by Factory738, 'Miguel De Northern' by Graphicxell, 'MVB Diazo' by MVB, and 'Merchanto' by Type Juice (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy display face with simplified, mostly sans construction and deliberately rough contours. Strokes look inked or pressed, with chiseled corners, worn edges, and occasional interior pitting that creates a printed, distressed texture. Curves are compact and squarish, counters stay fairly open for the weight, and widths vary slightly from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an improvised, hand-made rhythm. Numerals and capitals are blocky and prominent, with a generally consistent vertical stance and minimal modulation beyond the texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where the distressed texture can read as a stylistic element—posters, flyers, packaging, merch graphics, and title treatments. It also works well for themed branding needing a rugged, stamped or screen-printed feel, but is less appropriate for long text or small UI sizes due to the heavy texture.
The overall tone feels gritty and energetic, like lettering pulled from a worn poster or a stamped label. Its irregular texture adds attitude and a casual, rebellious warmth, balancing toughness with a slightly playful, DIY character.
The design appears intended to simulate imperfect ink transfer and physical wear while keeping letterforms straightforward and legible. It prioritizes bold presence and a tactile, printed look for expressive display typography.
Texture is strong enough that fine detail softens at smaller sizes, while the distressed interiors become a defining feature at headline sizes. Round characters (O, Q, 0) show especially visible wear, and the set maintains a cohesive rough-print effect across upper- and lowercase.
