Solid Esri 6 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Dexa Pro' by Artegra, 'Antry Sans' by Mans Greback, 'Amsi Pro' by Stawix, and 'Nominee' by TypeUnion (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact display face built from soft, swollen forms with generously rounded corners and minimal stroke modulation. Counters are frequently reduced to small punched apertures or close up entirely, creating a strong silhouette-driven read. Terminals tend to be blunt and slightly irregular, and the overall rhythm feels bouncy rather than rigidly geometric. Figures and letters share the same chunky construction, with simplified interior structure and an intentionally uneven, hand-cut consistency.
Use it for short, high-impact text such as posters, splashy headlines, playful branding marks, packaging callouts, and entertainment or kids-oriented graphics. It also suits stickers, event promotions, and display copy where silhouette and personality matter more than fine detail.
The font projects a playful, comedic tone with a retro novelty flavor. Its dense black shapes and softened edges feel friendly and mischievous, leaning toward cartoon title cards and attention-grabbing signage rather than formal typography.
The design appears intended to maximize visual punch through solid, rounded shapes and simplified internal detail, creating a quirky, approachable display voice. Its letterforms prioritize character and texture over typographic neutrality, aiming for memorable, humorous presence in large-format use.
Because interior openings are small or collapsed, readability drops quickly at small sizes and in longer passages; it performs best when given room and generous tracking. The strong inked mass also makes it effective for high-contrast color pairings and simple, bold compositions.
