Distressed Bulu 6 is a very bold, very narrow, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Fairweather' by Dharma Type, 'Frontage Condensed' by Juri Zaech, and 'CG Gothic' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, all-caps–friendly sans with blocky, poster-like proportions and slightly squared curves. Strokes are heavy and simplified, with straight-sided verticals and compact bowls that keep counters tight but readable at display sizes. The defining texture is a worn, ink-scuffed pattern: irregular interior speckling and small bite-outs create a printed-on-rough-stock look while preserving a consistent skeleton across glyphs. Numerals and lowercase follow the same narrow rhythm, giving lines a dense, vertical cadence.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where the distressed detail can read clearly—posters, event graphics, packaging fronts, apparel graphics, album/film titling, and bold signage. It can also work for strong subheads or pull quotes when given enough size and spacing to keep the texture from filling in.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian—like stamped signage or ink rolled from a well-used press. The distress adds grit and immediacy, suggesting age, friction, and hands-on craft rather than polish or luxury.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while adding a convincingly worn print texture. The goal appears to be a sturdy, condensed display voice that reads as stamped or aged, suitable for theme-driven branding and bold typographic statements.
Texture distribution varies slightly from glyph to glyph, which helps avoid a repeated pattern and makes the wear feel organic. The narrow set width and strong vertical stress produce tight word shapes, while the rounded joins and softened corners prevent the face from becoming purely mechanical.
