Distressed Seze 3 is a very bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Futura Now' by Monotype, 'Greek Font Set #2' by The Fontry, 'Budmo' by Typodermic, and 'dT Jakob' by dooType (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, heavy display sans with compact proportions and softly rounded geometry. Strokes are broadly monolinear in feel, but the edges and counters are intentionally roughened with speckling, nicks, and uneven inking that creates a printed, worn texture. Letterforms lean toward simple, blocky construction with slightly squarish bowls and occasional angled terminals; punctuation and figures follow the same bold, sturdy silhouette.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, titles, album covers, event flyers, and bold packaging or label work where texture is desirable. It also fits brand marks and merchandising graphics that want a rugged, printed feel rather than a clean digital finish.
The overall tone is bold and attention-grabbing with a scrappy, tactile character. Its distressed texture reads like imperfect screen print or stamped ink, giving it a casual, rebellious energy that feels nostalgic and DIY.
This design appears intended to deliver a strong, friendly block-letter voice while adding character through deliberate wear and ink breakup. The goal is a display face that feels physical and imperfect, evoking analog printing and rough production methods for expressive branding and themed graphics.
The distressing is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with visible interior specks and edge chipping that becomes a defining feature at larger sizes. Spacing appears generous enough for headline use, while the dense texture can reduce clarity at small sizes.
