Distressed Punuv 12 is a very bold, normal width, high contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Plasto' by Eko Bimantara, 'Muller' and 'Muller Next' by Fontfabric, 'Whitney' by Hoefler & Co., and 'Jasan' by Storm Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavily weighty, right-leaning display face with chunky, uneven strokes and a visibly textured fill that mimics rough ink coverage. Letterforms are compact and energetic, with simplified counters and rounded joins that keep the shapes cohesive despite the irregular edges. The rhythm is lively and slightly inconsistent in a deliberate way, with subtle width and curve variations that enhance a hand-made, stamped/printed impression. Numerals and lowercase follow the same stout, brushy construction for a unified, poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, product packaging, and promotional graphics where texture and attitude are desirable. It can also work for badges, stickers, and social media graphics when used at sizes large enough for the distressed details to read clearly.
The overall tone is bold and mischievous, pairing toughness with an informal, friendly bounce. The worn texture and imperfect contours suggest something gritty and analog, while the exaggerated weight and slant keep it upbeat and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, kinetic headline voice with an intentionally rough, ink-worn surface—evoking analog printing and hand-applied marks while remaining legible and cohesive across the basic alphabet and numerals.
The internal speckling and rough edges are prominent enough to become part of the letter identity, especially in larger sizes. Counters tend to stay open but are reduced by the heavy weight, emphasizing silhouette over fine detail, and the italic lean reinforces forward motion and urgency.
