Distressed Ragol 3 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Myriad Arabic', 'Myriad Bengali', and 'Myriad Devanagari' by Adobe; 'Conamore' by Grida; and 'Camphor' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, rounded sans with heavy strokes and softly squared counters. Letterforms are built from simple, compact shapes with minimal contrast and a slightly bouncy rhythm, while the outlines show deliberate wear: nicked corners, uneven edges, and occasional speckled/eroded interior spots that mimic rough printing or stamped ink. Proportions are friendly and compact, with sturdy verticals, wide bowls, and a single‑storey "a" and "g" that reinforce the casual construction. Numerals are similarly stout and simplified, matching the texture and weight of the letters.
Best suited for punchy display typography—posters, packaging, apparel graphics, labels, and event promos—where a bold, tactile look is desired. It can also work for short editorial callouts or subheads when you want texture without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone feels energetic and approachable, like hand-printed signage or a well-used rubber stamp. The distressed texture adds a vintage, tactile character—more crafty and rebellious than polished—without losing legibility at display sizes.
The design appears intended to combine a friendly, rounded grotesque foundation with intentional print wear, creating a bold display face that evokes handmade production and imperfect ink on paper.
Spacing and shapes read consistently across uppercase and lowercase, with slightly irregular terminals and joins that keep the texture visible in continuous text. The distressed details are subtle enough to function in short paragraphs, but they remain a defining feature in larger headlines.
