Distressed Ronih 4 is a very bold, wide, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Northpole' by 38-lineart, 'Hando' by Eko Bimantara, 'Urania' by Hoftype, 'Pais' by Latinotype, and 'MVB Embarcadero' by MVB (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy display serif with compact, blocky letterforms and a distinctly worn surface. Strokes are built from broad slabs with softened corners and irregular cutouts that create a chipped, ink-lift texture throughout counters and outer edges. Serifs read as short, sturdy brackets or slabs, and the overall geometry stays mostly straight and upright with rounded joins in many curves. Spacing and widths vary noticeably across the set, reinforcing a handmade or printed-from-worn-type feel while keeping the silhouette solid and highly legible at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, logos, and packaging where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It also works well for music or event promotions, vintage-themed graphics, and merch-style typography, especially when paired with clean supporting text.
The texture and chunky construction give the face a gritty, analog character—like old posters, stamped packaging, or screen prints that have seen repeated use. It balances toughness with a slightly cartoonish friendliness, making it feel energetic and attention-seeking rather than formal.
This design appears intended to deliver bold readability while simulating imperfect, tactile production—evoking worn letterpress, stamping, or rough screen printing. The goal is a strong display voice with built-in texture to add instant attitude and character without additional effects.
The distressed treatment is applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and figures, with visible speckling and interior voids that can fill in at small sizes. Numerals and round letters show pronounced internal wear, and the overall rhythm benefits from generous weight and simple shapes.
