Distressed Logy 4 is a bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Capita' by Hoftype, 'Faraon' by Latinotype, and 'Kheops' by Tipo Pèpel (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy slab-serif design with sturdy, compact letterforms and deliberately roughened contours. Strokes are weighty with modest modulation, and terminals end in blunt slabs that feel stamped rather than polished. The edges show consistent chipping and ink spread, producing irregular counters and slightly fuzzy silhouettes. Spacing and widths vary subtly across characters, reinforcing a mechanical, imperfect rhythm rather than a strictly uniform set.
Best suited for display settings where texture is a feature: posters, album/film titles, product packaging, and editorial pull quotes. It also works well for labels, signage, and UI moments that want a stamped or printed-on-paper feel, especially when set with generous size and breathing room.
The overall tone feels gritty and utilitarian, evoking worn print, archival paperwork, and workshop labeling. Its distressed texture adds urgency and toughness, suggesting age, use, and physical production rather than clean digital precision.
The design appears intended to merge the familiar structure of a slab/typewriter-inspired skeleton with the character of distressed printing—adding wear, ink bleed, and surface noise to create a convincingly analog impression.
At larger sizes the rough detail reads as tactile texture; at smaller sizes the erosion can merge into the strokes and darken the color on the line. The numerals and capitals maintain a strong, poster-like presence, while the lowercase keeps the same rugged treatment for consistent texture in paragraphs or headlines.
