Distressed Gome 1 is a regular weight, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'AG Royal' by Berthold, 'Aplikazia MF' and 'Classica MF' by Masterfont, and 'CG Triumvirate' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A clean, grotesque-style sans with mostly uniform strokes and simple, sturdy geometry. Bowls and counters are generously open, with rounded curves paired to blunt terminals and minimal modulation. The defining feature is a consistent distressed texture: small chips, scuffs, and ink-breaks appear along edges and occasionally inside strokes, like worn paint or imperfect printing. Uppercase forms are straightforward and compact, while the lowercase keeps a familiar, readable structure with single-storey shapes where expected and a pragmatic, workmanlike rhythm.
Works especially well for posters, packaging, labels, and signage where a clean sans foundation needs a printed, timeworn surface. It can also support branding accents, album/cover art, or editorial display settings where texture adds atmosphere without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone feels rugged and practical, suggesting age, friction, and real-world use. The distress reads as authentic wear rather than chaotic grunge, giving it a confident, no-nonsense character suited to bold messaging with a tactile edge.
The design appears intended to combine the neutrality and readability of a straightforward sans with a controlled distressed layer that evokes wear, print abrasion, or aged materials. It aims to deliver an industrial, tactile presence while keeping forms familiar and easy to set.
The distress is relatively fine-grained and evenly distributed, so the letterforms remain legible while still clearly textured. Numerals follow the same simple construction and pick up the same scuffed details, helping headlines and short runs of text keep a cohesive, worn finish.
