Distressed Seky 3 is a very bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'NeoGram' by The Northern Block and 'Cern' by Wordshape (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, display-oriented sans with simplified, blocky forms and a deliberately rough finish. Strokes are thick with crisp, largely straight terminals that are broken up by irregular erosion and small interior voids, creating a worn ink/print texture. Counters are compact and often partially closed by the distressing, while spacing and letterfit feel slightly uneven in a way that reinforces a handmade, stamped look. Numerals match the cap weight and carry the same chipped edges and spotty fill.
Best used in large sizes where the rough texture can be appreciated—posters, flyers, album/playlist artwork, bold headlines, packaging, and merchandise graphics. It can also work for short labels or badges where a rugged, analog print feel is desired, but it is less suited to long text or small UI sizes due to the heavy weight and distressed counters.
The overall tone is gritty and tactile, like type pulled from an old poster press, a rubber stamp, or painted signage that has been scraped by time. It reads as bold and assertive, with a rebellious, DIY energy suited to loud, high-impact messaging.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with an intentionally imperfect, worn surface—evoking aged printing, stamping, or screen-printed ink while keeping letterforms straightforward and legible for display use.
The distressing is consistent across the set but varies enough to avoid a mechanical repeat, with noticeable speckling along curves and at corners. Round letters show strong flattening and scuffing at the perimeter, and the texture can visually darken at smaller sizes where the interior breaks begin to fill in.
