Distressed Selu 6 is a very bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Chubbét' by Emboss, 'FF Good' by FontFont, 'Helvetica Now' by Monotype, 'Core Sans NR' by S-Core, and 'Amsi Pro' and 'Amsi Pro AKS' by Stawix (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and a soft, blocky skeleton. Strokes are broadly uniform but interrupted by intentional roughness: edges wobble, corners fray, and counters show occasional speckling and nicks that mimic worn or over-inked printing. Terminals are blunt and slightly irregular, with lively width fluctuations from letter to letter that enhance a handmade rhythm. The lowercase reads as single-storey, simple forms with sturdy stems and generous interior shapes, while numerals match the same chunky, distressed texture.
Best suited for display use where impact and texture are assets: posters, event flyers, product packaging, labels, stickers, and merchandise graphics. It works well for short headlines, brand marks, and callouts that benefit from a rugged handmade feel, and is less appropriate for long-form reading at smaller sizes where the distress may reduce clarity.
The overall tone is bold and tactile, combining a friendly, cartoony mass with a gritty, weathered finish. It feels informal and energetic—more street-level and craft-driven than polished—bringing a sense of analog imperfection and attitude to short messages.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, approachable display voice while preserving the authenticity of imperfect print or hand-applied ink. Its combination of rounded construction and deliberate wear suggests a font built to add character and tactile realism to bold messaging.
The distressing is consistent across the set, showing as small chips, soft dents, and uneven ink spread rather than sharp grunge scratches. Because the texture is prominent, the design visually thickens in dense settings, and the irregularities become a key part of its voice.
