Sans Superellipse Jeze 13 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Jawbreak' and 'Outlast' by BoxTube Labs, 'Gainsborough' by Fenotype, 'Tradesman' by Grype, 'Herchey' by Ilham Herry, 'Galantic' by RantauType, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with squared proportions and generously rounded corners, producing a soft-rectangle silhouette across both straight and curved strokes. Forms are built from broad verticals and horizontals with minimal modulation, and many counters read as rounded rectangles. Joins and terminals are mostly blunt and flat, while internal cut-ins create crisp notches in letters like C, G, S, and Z, adding a slightly stencil-like, machined feel. Lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with single-story a and g, short extenders, and tightly contained counters; numerals follow the same boxy, rounded construction for a consistent, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding where a compact, high-impact texture is desired. The squared, rounded construction also works well for signage, team or sports graphics, and tech-themed titles where clarity and punch matter more than delicate detail.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, mixing industrial signage energy with a friendly, game-like softness from the rounded corners. Its squared curves and deliberate notches suggest a technical, engineered attitude, while the compact rhythm keeps it punchy and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a compact footprint while maintaining friendliness through rounded corners. Its consistent superelliptical construction and repeated notch motifs aim to create a distinctive, engineered voice that holds up in large-scale display typography.
Round letters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) lean toward superelliptical geometry rather than true circles, and the typeface relies on negative-space shaping (rectangular counters and inset apertures) to distinguish similar forms at a glance. The sample text shows strong line-to-line color and high impact at display sizes, with spacing that favors a dense, headline-driven setting.
