Distressed Kery 3 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'POLIGRA' by Machalski, 'Futura Now' by Monotype, 'Reflex Pro' by RMU, and 'Budmo' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, soft-cornered sans with thick, rounded strokes and uneven, ragged contours that mimic worn stencil/ink impressions. Counters are compact and sometimes slightly pinched, while terminals look torn or blotted rather than cleanly cut. Proportions lean wide and squat, with simplified shapes and a sturdy baseline presence; the texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a cohesive, distressed silhouette.
Best suited to display applications where texture is an asset: posters, event flyers, album/cover art, bold social graphics, and packaging or labels that want a rugged, handmade feel. It also works well for short headlines or pull quotes where the distressed outline can carry the visual identity.
The overall tone feels gritty and informal, like hand-printed signage or photocopied poster type that’s been weathered. Its chunky forms read as bold and friendly, while the rough edges add attitude and a DIY, street-level energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a deliberately imperfect, worn print character—combining chunky, approachable letterforms with consistent edge distress to evoke analog reproduction and DIY signage.
In text settings the distressed perimeter creates a lively rhythm and noticeable texture, especially in longer lines. The roughness reduces crispness at small sizes, but it becomes a defining graphic feature at display sizes where the worn edges and compact counters are clearly legible.
