Distressed Kepo 3 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'JAF Domus Titling' by Just Another Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, chunky display face with irregular, worn contours and soft, blobby terminals that suggest ink spread or rough stamping. Strokes are broadly consistent but frequently wobble, with nicks, bumps, and occasional interior notches that create a distressed texture. Counters tend to be small and somewhat uneven, and the overall rhythm feels intentionally unrefined, with slight glyph-to-glyph variation and a loose baseline/sidebearing discipline in the sample setting.
Works well for posters, punchy headlines, packaging callouts, stickers, and entertainment graphics where a rough, inky texture adds character. It suits titles for games, zines, album art, event flyers, and thematic UI moments where legibility is secondary to attitude.
The font reads loud, mischievous, and handmade—more like a DIY poster or comic shout than a polished brand voice. Its rough edges and inky density give it a gritty, street-level energy, while the rounded bulk keeps it approachable and fun rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to simulate imperfect, analog lettering—like hand-cut stencils, rough brush/marker fills, or worn print—while keeping letterforms bold and simple for instant impact. Its primary goal is to deliver a strong silhouette with built-in texture, giving layouts an immediate handmade, distressed voice without additional effects.
At text sizes the distressed perimeter becomes a dominant texture, creating a dark, mottled color on the line. Simpler shapes (like O, C, S) remain recognizable despite the roughness, but fine details and small counters can fill in as size decreases, making it best treated as a display texture rather than a neutral workhorse.
