Distressed Jona 2 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Siro' by Dharma Type, 'Croma Sans' by Hoftype, 'Acto' by Monotype, and 'Multi' by Type-Ø-Tones (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, heavy display face with broad proportions and irregular, torn-looking contours. Strokes are thick and largely monoline in feel, but the edges wobble and chip, creating a rough printed/inked texture around every glyph. Counters tend to be compact and slightly misshapen, and terminals look blunt and soft rather than sharply cut. Spacing and widths feel uneven by design, reinforcing the handmade, distressed rhythm while keeping letterforms simple and legible at display sizes.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing applications where texture is a feature: posters, headlines, event branding, logos, apparel graphics, and packaging. It benefits from generous sizing and solid color fills, where the distressed edge detail stays visible without compromising readability.
The overall tone is gritty and mischievous—like bold lettering pulled from a worn poster, stamped packaging, or a rough screenprint. It reads energetic and informal, with a slightly rebellious, DIY character that feels more fun than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-impact voice with intentional wear and print roughness, simulating imperfect production methods. Its simplified shapes and consistent distressing suggest a display-first font meant to add instant grit and character to modern layouts.
In the sample text, the texture becomes more pronounced in longer lines, where the ragged edges create a lively, vibrating silhouette. The numerals match the same heavy, imperfect construction, keeping a consistent voice across alphanumerics.
