Distressed Teze 3 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Kontesa' by FoxType, 'Born Strong' by Rook Supply, 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, all-caps-friendly display face built from heavy, blocky letterforms with angular construction and clipped corners. Strokes are mostly monolinear in feel, with straight verticals and squared terminals, while bowls and counters are compact and squarish. A consistent distressed treatment roughens the outer edges and introduces small nicks and voids, creating a worn-print texture across both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same rigid, geometric skeleton, maintaining strong color and tight internal spacing.
Best suited for large-scale applications where the rugged texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, packaging callouts, apparel graphics, and album or event art. It can also work for thematic signage-style compositions, especially when paired with simpler supporting text for readability.
The font conveys a tough, utilitarian mood—like stamped signage, crate markings, or weather-beaten lettering. Its roughened texture adds grit and urgency, pushing the tone toward industrial, vintage, and poster-like communication rather than polished branding.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography with a weathered, stamped aesthetic—prioritizing strong silhouette and a gritty surface texture to evoke industrial and vintage themes.
The distress is fairly uniform in scale, so the texture reads as a deliberate overlay rather than random damage; at smaller sizes the interior breaks and edge erosion may merge and reduce clarity. The lowercase echoes the uppercase structure closely, reinforcing a sign-painting/stencil impression and a strong, repetitive rhythm.
