Distressed Epdiz 6 is a very bold, narrow, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Festivo Letters' by Ahmet Altun, 'CF Blast Gothic' by Fonts.GR, and 'MVB Diazo' by MVB (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavily inked display face with compact, condensed proportions and chunky vertical emphasis. Strokes feel pressure-printed, with roughened, irregular edges and occasional interior speckling that suggests worn type or distressed inking. Curves are slightly squarish and blunt, terminals are mostly flat and abrupt, and counters are tight, giving the letters a dense, dark color. Spacing appears uneven by design, reinforcing a hand-stamped rhythm while remaining largely upright and readable in short blocks.
Well-suited for posters, headlines, and short statements where a bold, gritty voice is needed. It can add character to packaging, album art, event flyers, and merchandise graphics, especially in one- or two-color layouts that benefit from a strong, inked silhouette.
The font conveys a gritty, analog attitude—more DIY and rebellious than polished. Its rough texture and compressed heft evoke photocopied flyers, rubber-stamp impressions, and weathered signage, delivering an assertive, no-nonsense tone.
The design appears intended to mimic imperfect, physical printing—like worn wood type or a rough stamp—while keeping letterforms straightforward enough for impactful display typography. Its goal is to add texture and attitude without relying on complex letter construction.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent distressed treatment, with sturdy silhouettes that hold up in larger sizes. The textured edges and tight counters can fill in at small sizes or on low-resolution output, so the face reads best when allowed enough size and contrast to show its surface detail.
