Sans Superellipse Wafi 1 is a very bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Miedinger' by Canada Type, 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'Muller Next' by Fontfabric, and 'Hyperspace Race Capsule' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, extended sans with superellipse construction: round forms are built from rounded rectangles and flat-ish curves, creating broad counters and smooth, squared-off terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and joins tend to be clean and engineered rather than calligraphic. The overall silhouette is low and wide, with generous horizontal spread and compact vertical proportions; apertures stay fairly open while bowls and counters read as wide ovals/squircles. Numerals match the same wide, monoline geometry, with simplified, sturdy shapes suited to large sizes.
Best suited for display roles where mass and width are assets: headlines, large UI labels, product marks, and bold packaging statements. It can also work for short bursts of copy in advertisements or signage, where a strong, contemporary tone is desired.
The tone is modern and assertive, leaning toward tech, automotive, and sports branding. Its squarish-rounded geometry gives a contemporary, slightly futuristic feel, while the dense weight projects strength and immediacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a cohesive rounded-rectangle geometry, prioritizing bold presence, smooth industrial forms, and contemporary branding versatility over delicate detail.
Curves resolve into flattened arcs rather than perfect circles, reinforcing a superelliptic rhythm across O/C/S and the rounded lowercase. The texture in paragraph settings is dark and steady, with strong word-shape presence and a compact, poster-like impact.
