Distressed Vumi 6 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Latha' and 'Raavi' by Microsoft Corporation and 'NeoGram' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, hand-rendered sans with rounded forms and visibly irregular outlines. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, but wobble subtly as if made with a marker or rough print process, creating bumpy contours and softened corners. Terminals are blunt and slightly frayed, counters stay fairly open, and proportions vary a bit from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an unpolished, human rhythm while remaining readable in short text.
This font suits display uses where texture and personality are desired—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks. It also works well for merch and social graphics that benefit from a hand-made, slightly weathered look, especially at medium to large sizes where the rough edges can be appreciated.
The overall tone is friendly but rugged, combining a casual, DIY warmth with a worn, slightly gritty texture. It feels informal and approachable, like hand-painted signage or stamped lettering, with enough roughness to suggest authenticity and energy rather than precision.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect, analog lettering—marker-drawn or roughly printed—while keeping recognizable letterforms for easy reading. Its controlled roughness suggests a balance between expressive texture and practical display legibility.
Capitals have a compact, sturdy presence and the lowercase keeps simple, single-story shapes that read quickly. Numerals share the same chunky, inked-in feel, and the texture remains consistent across lines, with natural-looking irregularity rather than extreme distortion.
