Sans Superellipse Sibel 7 is a bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Albireo' and 'Albireo Soft' by Cory Maylett Design and 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with squared-round (superelliptic) bowls and broadly uniform stroke thickness. The forms are tall and tightly proportioned, with short crossbars and economical counters that keep a dense texture in text. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle geometry rather than circular arcs, and terminals are mostly flat and crisp. Lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, simple i/j with square-ish dots, and a short-armed r; numerals are similarly blocky with strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where strong presence and space-efficient width are beneficial. It can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding-style typography, especially where a compact, assertive texture is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a contemporary, no-nonsense voice. Its condensed massing and sturdy geometry evoke industrial labeling, sports graphics, and headline-driven editorial design where impact and discipline matter more than softness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, contemporary sans structure. Its superelliptic construction and simplified details prioritize clarity and consistency for bold, graphic communication.
The condensed width and tight internal space create a dark, efficient rhythm that stays coherent at large sizes. Round characters like O/Q read as rounded rectangles, and diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are straight and athletic, reinforcing a structured, engineered feel.
