Distressed Efmaf 6 is a very bold, normal width, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Outlast' by BoxTube Labs, 'Gainsborough' by Fenotype, 'Mexiland' by Grezline Studio, and 'Manifest' by Yasin Yalcin (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, blocky sans with rounded corners and squared counters, built from thick strokes that feel slightly hand-inked. The outlines are intentionally uneven, with worn interior speckling and occasional nicks that create a printed, weathered texture. Curves and joins are simplified and sturdy, producing compact letterforms with a consistent, poster-ready silhouette and clear, open apertures in most characters. Numerals and capitals share the same robust geometry, with a generally uniform stroke mass and a subtly irregular rhythm from the distressing.
Best suited to display settings where texture can contribute to the message: posters, bold headlines, product packaging, badges, and merchandise graphics. It also works well for short signage or title treatments where a rugged, printed look is desired and fine detail isn’t required for long reading.
The overall tone is tough and tactile, like stamped packaging, screen-printed merch, or a well-used label. Its softened corners keep it approachable, while the distressed texture adds grit and attitude that reads as vintage and hands-on rather than sleek or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy, high-impact display voice with a deliberately worn print texture, balancing solid geometric construction with imperfect ink/press artifacts. It aims for immediate readability at large sizes while adding character through erosion and speckling.
Distressing is most visible as scattered internal erosion rather than heavily torn outer edges, so the font maintains strong shapes at a distance while still feeling worn up close. The squared, rounded-rectangle construction gives several glyphs a mildly stencil/label flavor, contributing to a utilitarian, industrial presence.
