Distressed Joni 11 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Oktah Round' by Groteskly Yours, 'Giriton' by Hazztype, 'Clarika Pro' by Wild Edge, and 'Coco Gothic Pro' and 'Coco Sharp' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, rounded sans with thick, simplified forms and an irregular, worn edge profile. Strokes feel hand-cut or stamped, with visibly rough contours, small nicks, and occasional speckled/eroded areas that create a mottled texture in the counters and along the perimeter. Proportions are generally broad with sturdy bowls and soft corners; spacing and glyph widths vary slightly, reinforcing an organic, non-mechanical rhythm. Numerals and capitals are heavy and compact, maintaining strong silhouette readability despite the distressed surface.
Best suited to short, bold applications such as posters, headlines, titles, packaging callouts, stickers, and event flyers where texture is a feature. It can also work for playful branding or merch graphics, especially when paired with a clean secondary text face for longer copy.
The overall tone is playful and gritty at the same time—like a poster type pulled from a rough print run or painted signage. It reads casual, loud, and attention-seeking, with a mischievous, DIY energy rather than a polished corporate feel.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography with a deliberately rough, printed or hand-made finish. Its rounded, friendly construction keeps it approachable, while the distressed detailing adds attitude and tactile character.
The distressing is consistent enough to feel intentional, but irregular enough to keep each letterform lively. The heavy mass can cause dark, inky texture in longer passages, so the font benefits from generous tracking and ample line spacing when set in blocks.
