Distressed Efbub 2 is a very bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Basketball' by Evo Studio, 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, 'Airbuzz' by Spinefonts, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded, block-style sans with squared counters and softened corners. Strokes are thick and largely monoline in feel, with compact apertures and a slightly condensed, vertical stance across many letters. A consistent distressed texture appears as small chips and speckled voids inside the strokes, mimicking worn ink or rough printing. Numerals and capitals read as sturdy signage forms, while the lowercase maintains the same chunky structure with simple, geometric construction.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headers, product packaging, stickers, apparel graphics, and title cards. It works especially well when you want a bold silhouette with a worn, tactile print vibe, and it benefits from generous tracking and ample size to keep the distressed detailing legible.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian, like lettering pulled from workwear labels or stenciled packaging, but with enough softness in the corners to stay approachable. The wear pattern adds a gritty, lived-in character that suggests age, friction, and analog printing.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, compact display voice with an intentionally weathered finish, evoking stamped or screen-printed letterforms. Its simplified geometry and consistent distressing suggest a focus on branding and thematic headlines rather than long-form reading.
The texture is integrated rather than random, showing repeatable flecks and scuffs that become more noticeable at larger sizes. Because counters and openings are relatively tight, the distressed details can visually fill in at small sizes or on low-resolution outputs.
