Distressed Seze 6 is a very bold, normal width, very high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Railroad Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Karibu' by ROHH, 'NeoGram' by The Northern Block, and 'Kommon Grotesk' by TypeK (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, rounded sans with compact proportions and a heavy, poster-like silhouette. Counters are relatively small and often partially closed by ink gain, while terminals and corners stay soft and bulbous. A consistent worn texture appears as chipped edges and small voids inside strokes, creating a rough-printed look. The rhythm is bouncy and slightly irregular, with some letters feeling more condensed or widened, reinforcing an analog, cut-and-print character.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where texture is an asset: posters, headlines, apparel graphics, packaging, and brand marks that want a handmade print vibe. It also works well for stickers, labels, and event promos where strong shapes need to hold up against busy backgrounds.
The font reads bold and friendly but intentionally scuffed, like inked packaging, screen-printed merch, or stamped signage that’s seen some use. Its texture adds grit without turning harsh, keeping the overall tone energetic and approachable with a vintage, DIY edge.
The design appears intended to combine a friendly, rounded display skeleton with a deliberate worn-print finish, evoking imperfect inking and aged production. The goal is immediate impact and character, prioritizing bold silhouette and tactile texture over neutral, body-text refinement.
Uppercase forms are blocky and stable with broad curves (notably in C/G/O/Q), while lowercase maintains a simple, single-storey feel that stays highly legible at display sizes. Numerals are similarly stout and rounded, matching the soft geometry; the distressing is uniform enough to feel designed rather than accidental, but will become more prominent as size increases.
