Distressed Jejo 2 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Fd Hallway' by Fortunes Co, 'Peridot Latin' and 'Peridot PE' by Foundry5, 'Flink Neue' by Identity Letters, 'Averta PE' and 'Averta Standard PE' by Intelligent Design, and 'Grold Rounded' by Typesketchbook (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, chunky display face with irregular, roughened contours that feel stamped or brush-inked rather than mechanically drawn. Strokes are broadly monolinear with subtly lumpy expansions, and terminals often end in torn, chiseled edges. Counters are compact and slightly uneven, contributing to a dense texture, while the overall silhouette remains clear and upright. The character set shows deliberate inconsistency from glyph to glyph, creating an organic rhythm akin to worn letterpress or distressed signage paint.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where texture is an asset: posters, event flyers, album/playlist artwork, apparel graphics, packaging callouts, and bold social media headlines. It will also work for logos or badges that benefit from a rough, printed feel, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the distress details remain legible.
The font projects a gritty, DIY attitude with a friendly, cartoonish bluntness. Its distressed edges and inky mass suggest underground posters, skate/punk ephemera, or rough screen-printed merch, balancing toughness with an approachable, hand-made charm.
Designed to emulate imperfect production—worn printing, rough carving, or quick brush-and-ink lettering—while keeping letterforms bold and readable. The intention appears to be creating immediate visual character and attitude through distressed edges and uneven contours rather than typographic precision.
In text, the dense weight and ragged perimeter produce strong color and pronounced texture; spacing feels robust and the irregular outlines add motion even in short phrases. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, and the numerals match the same cut-and-worn aesthetic for cohesive display use.
