Distressed Setu 6 is a very bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Seconda Soft' by Durotype, 'Seitu' by FSD, 'Conamore' by Grida, and 'Camphor' and 'Morandi' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, rounded sans with heavy, inked-in strokes and visibly rough, uneven edges. The letterforms are simple and upright, with soft corners and slightly irregular contours that create a worn, stamped look. Counters are generally open but show mottled speckling and small voids, suggesting broken ink coverage. Overall spacing and widths feel loosely consistent, with subtle per-glyph variation that reinforces the handmade rhythm.
Best suited to short-to-medium display settings where texture can be appreciated: posters, headlines, labels, and bold branding moments. It can add character to packaging, stickers, and merchandise graphics, especially when paired with clean supporting text. For long paragraphs or small sizes, the distressed fill and heavy weight may reduce clarity, so it works most confidently at larger scales.
The font conveys a playful, gritty energy—friendly in silhouette but rough in finish. Its distressed texture reads as analog and imperfect, evoking DIY printing, well-used rubber stamps, or weathered signage. The tone is informal and attention-grabbing, with a casual warmth under the rugged surface.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, approachable display voice while adding instant character through distressed ink texture. By combining rounded, uncomplicated shapes with deliberate roughness, it aims to feel handcrafted and imperfect in a controlled, repeatable way.
Texture is present both along the outlines and within filled areas, so the color on the page looks intentionally uneven and organic. The numerals and uppercase have the same bold, rounded construction as the lowercase, keeping the system cohesive while preserving a slightly wobbly, human feel.
