Distressed Epbab 7 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Seitu' by FSD, 'Noah' by Fontfabric, 'Merel' by Inhouse Type, 'JAF Domus Titling' by Just Another Foundry, and 'Neue Kabel' by Linotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky, heavy display face with rounded corners, slightly uneven contours, and a consistent worn/ink-rolled texture that leaves small voids and speckling inside the strokes. The letterforms are built from simplified, mostly monoline shapes with occasional swelling and compression that gives the rhythm a hand-cut, stamped feel. Counters tend to be open and generous for the weight, while joins and terminals stay blunt and soft rather than sharp. Overall spacing reads compact and lively, with small per-glyph irregularities that enhance the distressed print character.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, badges, packaging, and event or merchandise graphics where the textured weight can do the branding work. It can also work for playful signage or social graphics, while long passages and small sizes may lose clarity as the distressed details fill in.
The overall tone is fun, casual, and a little rebellious—like a hand-printed poster or a rubber-stamp set with deliberate imperfections. Its roughened texture adds warmth and nostalgia, keeping the voice friendly rather than aggressive despite the heavy weight.
Designed to deliver a bold, approachable display voice with a deliberately imperfect, worn-print finish. The aim appears to be quick personality and analog texture—evoking hand printing, stamped lettering, or rough-cut forms—while keeping letterforms simple and readable at display sizes.
The distressing is integrated into the shapes rather than applied as random noise, so repeated letters still feel cohesive. The irregular edges and internal speckling become more prominent at larger sizes, where the texture reads as a key part of the identity.
