Distressed Jepe 6 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Acumin' by Adobe, 'Congress Sans' by Club Type, 'Newhouse DT' by DTP Types, 'Posting Sans' by K-Type, and 'Latino Gothic' by Latinotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact display face with irregular, torn-looking contours and subtly uneven stem widths that mimic worn ink or rough printing. Letterforms are mostly upright with stout proportions, short extenders, and rounded-yet-jagged corners that create a soft but distressed silhouette. Counters are relatively small and sometimes pinched, while terminals appear blunt and slightly eroded, producing a lively, imperfect rhythm across words and lines.
Well-suited for attention-grabbing headlines, event posters, title treatments, and brand marks that want a rough, analog character. It also works effectively on packaging, labels, and entertainment graphics where a distressed, punchy voice helps set the mood.
The overall tone feels gritty and handcrafted, with a hint of retro poster energy and a lightly ominous, Halloween-adjacent edge. Its rough texture reads as analog and tactile, suggesting stamped lettering, aged signage, or low-fi print ephemera.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact while simulating the imperfections of aged printing or hand-cut lettering. Its consistent erosion and chunky forms aim to provide a ready-made texture for themed display typography without needing additional effects.
The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a cohesive worn-in voice. The irregular perimeter creates natural visual noise, so larger sizes and shorter phrases hold up better than extended passages of small body text.
