Distressed Divi 5 is a bold, very narrow, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'CF Blast Gothic' by Fonts.GR, 'Framer Sans' by June 23, 'Core Sans D' by S-Core, and 'Artico' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, all-caps-forward sans with tall proportions, tight counters, and blunt terminals. Strokes are largely monoline in feel but rendered with pronounced texture: rough edges, speckled interiors, and uneven ink coverage that suggest worn printing or a stamped impression. Curves are compact and squared-off in places, with straight-sided bowls and simplified joins that keep the silhouette sturdy and legible at display sizes. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction with consistent distressing across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and logotypes where a compact footprint and rugged texture can carry the message. It also works well for brand accents, badges, and short calls-to-action that benefit from a stamped, worn-in character.
The overall tone is gritty and utilitarian, with an industrial, workwear sensibility. Its distressed finish adds a sense of age, friction, and physicality—more “printed and handled” than pristine—while the condensed stance keeps it assertive and space-efficient.
The design appears intended to deliver a condensed, hard-working display voice with built-in wear, evoking physical printing processes and rough environments while staying readable and structurally straightforward.
Texture is integrated into the letterforms rather than applied as an overlay, with small voids and scuffs that remain visible even in heavier strokes. The narrow rhythm and compact apertures can make long passages feel dense, but they reinforce a strong, poster-like presence in short lines.
