Sans Superellipse Ibgub 13 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection; 'Sharp Grotesk Latin', 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean', and 'Sharp Grotesk Thai' by Monotype; and 'Balbek Pro' and 'Balbek Pro Cut' by Valentino Vergan (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, tightly spaced sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and softened corners throughout. Curves are squarish and controlled, producing compact counters and a dense, uniform color on the page. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are predominantly flat, giving the design a punchy, engineered feel. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short extenders, while figures are broad and stable, designed to hold their shape at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and wayfinding where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It also works well for branding marks and short UI callouts that benefit from compact, sturdy letterforms and a consistent, emphatic texture.
The overall tone is assertive and high-impact, with a practical, workmanlike character that still reads approachable due to the rounded corners. It suggests modern utility—sport, packaging, and signage—rather than refined editorial subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with simple, repeatable forms: thick strokes, rounded-square curves, and compact counters that remain legible under bold reproduction. It prioritizes punch and consistency for display-driven communication.
Round letters (like O/C/G) lean toward superelliptical forms, creating a distinct rounded-square silhouette. The spacing and compact internal shapes favor display clarity and bold emphasis over airy elegance, especially in longer sample lines.
