Distressed Robok 4 is a very bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Aspira' by Durotype, 'Plasto' by Eko Bimantara, 'Lyu Lin' by Stefan Stoychev, and 'Artico' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, all-caps-forward display face with chunky silhouettes, compact counters, and subtly uneven glyph widths. Letterforms are built from broad strokes with simplified geometry and a slightly squarish, poster-like construction, while edges and interiors show deliberate wear: nicks, speckling, and rough spots that mimic imperfect inking or degraded printing. Curves stay bold and full, terminals are generally blunt, and the distress texture appears consistently across letters and numerals, creating a strong dark color on the page.
Best used for short, high-impact copy such as posters, event titles, packaging labels, menu headers, and merch graphics where texture is a feature. It also fits entertainment, streetwear, indie branding, and any layout that benefits from a stamped/printed DIY look.
The overall tone is gritty and energetic, balancing toughness with a friendly, comic roughness. It reads like a bold hand-stamped or screen-printed headline—casual, loud, and a bit mischievous—suited to designs that want texture and attitude rather than polish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately imperfect print texture, evoking worn ink and rough production. Its simplified, bold forms prioritize presence and personality, aiming for an expressive, handmade feel in display typography.
The distressed details are pronounced enough that small sizes may lose clarity in tight text, while larger settings emphasize the tactile, worn surface. Uppercase forms feel especially punchy, and the numerals share the same chunky, scuffed character for cohesive headline and pricing treatments.
