Distressed Efgob 3 is a bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Newspoint' by Elsner+Flake, 'Panton' by Fontfabric, 'PF Das Grotesk Pro' by Parachute, and 'Mercedes Serial' by SoftMaker (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and an inky, printed construction. Strokes are thick with noticeable internal speckling and small bite-like gaps that create a worn, blotched texture across letters and figures. The shapes are generally simple and geometric, but the roughened edges and uneven ink traps give the set a lively, imperfect rhythm. Uppercase forms read sturdy and blocky, while lowercase stays compact and friendly with single-storey "a" and "g" and a straightforward, workmanlike modulation.
Best suited for short, bold settings where the distressed texture can be appreciated—posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, stickers, and apparel graphics. It can also work for playful branding and event promos where a stamped or screen-printed feel supports the message, while extended small-text use may lose clarity as the texture fills in.
The overall tone feels friendly and informal, like a bold rubber-stamp or screen-printed mark that has been used and re-inked over time. The distressing adds grit and personality without turning the letterforms into full grunge, balancing approachability with a slightly rugged, handmade attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, highly legible silhouette while adding a consistent worn-print texture for character. It aims to evoke analog production—stamping, screen printing, or aged signage—through softened geometry and controlled distressing that stays readable.
Texture is consistent across the character set, with repeated speckle patterns and small voids that remain visible even at larger sizes. The numerals match the letters in weight and softness, and the punctuation shown (periods, apostrophe) follows the same inked, imperfect finish.
