Distressed Furaj 2 is a bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Corsica' by AVP, 'Harmonia Sans' and 'Harmonia Sans Paneuropean' by Monotype, 'TT Norms Pro' by TypeType, and 'Klein' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans forms the base, with sturdy verticals and broad curves that create a strong, poster-ready silhouette. The letterforms are largely monoline in impression, but the distressed texture introduces broken counters, speckling, and uneven interior erosion that varies from glyph to glyph. Uppercase shapes are compact and blocky; lowercase is simple and utilitarian with open apertures and straightforward construction, maintaining clear rhythm despite the roughened surface.
Works best for display contexts where the distressed texture can be appreciated, such as posters, album or book covers, packaging, apparel graphics, and signage with an industrial or heritage tone. It is also well-suited to logos and badges that want a tough, timeworn voice, especially at medium to large sizes where the speckling and breaks remain legible.
The overall tone feels rugged and workmanlike, with a deliberate sense of wear that suggests age, use, and physical printing. It reads as confident and direct, with a slightly gritty, industrial personality rather than refined elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver bold, high-impact communication while adding a tactile, worn-print character. The distressing looks integrated as a surface treatment over a clean sans foundation, aiming to evoke authenticity and physical media rather than a pristine digital finish.
The texture is consistent in concept but not identical across characters, creating a natural, non-uniform print-wear effect. Numerals and capitals hold especially strong silhouettes, while the distressing introduces small voids and edge chatter that can visually darken in dense text blocks.
