Distressed Lope 3 is a bold, very wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Advera Stencil' by Apply Interactive, 'Advera Stencil EF' by Elsner+Flake, 'Eurostile Next Paneuropean' by Linotype, 'Bi Bi' by Naghi Naghachian, and 'Eurostile SH' by Scangraphic Digital Type Collection (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, all-caps-forward display face built from broad, simplified strokes with rounded corners and frequent stencil-like breaks. The letterforms are wide and squat, with generous internal counters where present, but many shapes are interrupted by irregular gaps that read like worn paint or distressed screenprint. Edges are jagged and uneven, with noticeable texture in straight stems and curves, giving the outlines a chipped, cut-out look. Curves tend to be flattened and geometric, and diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X, Y, Z) are thick and assertive, producing a heavy, poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, packaging callouts, and apparel graphics where the distressed texture can read clearly. It also fits game interfaces, event branding, and themed overlays that benefit from an industrial or tactical atmosphere; avoid small sizes and long paragraphs where the breaks and rough edges can reduce clarity.
The overall tone is rugged and industrial, evoking military labeling, shipping marks, and DIY protest graphics. Its distressed breaks add urgency and grit, making the voice feel tough, improvised, and slightly chaotic while still staying highly graphic and legible at display sizes.
The design appears intended to combine a bold, utilitarian stencil vocabulary with rough, weathered texture—suggesting painted markings, worn signage, or distressed printing—while maintaining a strong, block-shaped presence for attention-grabbing display typography.
Lowercase largely echoes the uppercase construction, reinforcing a uniform, blocky rhythm in text. Numerals and several letters (e.g., E, S, O/C forms) show deliberate internal cuts that create a consistent stenciled motif across the set, while the distressing introduces varied texture from glyph to glyph.
