Distressed Emris 6 is a very bold, very wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Miura' by DSType, 'Otoiwo Grotesk' by Pepper Type, 'Jasan' by Storm Type Foundry, and 'Matrice' by Studio Sun (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded display face with broad, soft-shouldered forms and compact counters. Strokes are generally uniform with gentle curve transitions and slightly flattened terminals, giving letters a chunky, carved-from-rubber silhouette. A consistent speckled, worn texture appears within the black shapes, creating irregular interior voids and a printed, weathered finish while keeping letterforms legible. Proportions skew wide with sturdy bowls and short-looking joins, and the numerals follow the same stout, rounded construction.
Works best for big, high-impact applications where the texture can be appreciated: posters, event graphics, branding marks, apparel/merch graphics, and packaging callouts. It also suits short editorial headers or pull quotes where a playful, rugged voice is desired, but the distressed interior detail favors medium-to-large sizes over small UI text.
The overall tone is friendly but tough: it reads like a bold headline made with imperfect materials—inked, stamped, or screen-printed—rather than digitally pristine type. The distressed texture adds a casual, nostalgic grit that feels approachable and energetic rather than severe.
The design appears intended to combine chunky, rounded display lettering with a deliberately worn print texture, evoking analog production and everyday materials. Its goal is visual punch with a crafted, imperfect finish that adds character to simple words and slogans.
Texture density is noticeable at larger sizes and becomes a defining feature, so smooth flat color fields are broken up into a lively, mottled pattern. The wide stance and rounded geometry create strong word shapes that hold up well in short phrases.
