Sans Superellipse Idmos 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Akkordeon' by Emtype Foundry, 'Spiegel Sans' by LucasFonts, 'Sztos' by Machalski, and 'Palo' by TypeUnion (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle curves and broadly squared counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals tend to feel blunt or softly clipped rather than tapered. The letterforms are wide-shouldered and tightly constructed, with a tall lowercase proportion and sturdy, rectangular stems that keep texture dense in paragraphs. Rounds like O/C/G read as superelliptical, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) are thick and stable, maintaining an even, poster-like color.
Best suited to display settings where mass and impact are desirable: headlines, posters, bold UI callouts, packaging, and signage. The compact shapes and strong rhythm also make it a good candidate for logo wordmarks and sports/club branding where a sturdy, high-visibility voice is needed.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a friendly edge created by the softened corners and inflated geometry. It evokes athletic and industrial signage—direct, high-impact, and slightly retro—while remaining approachable rather than sharp or austere.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through dense, rounded-rectangular forms and consistent, heavy strokes. It prioritizes bold presence and straightforward legibility, using softened geometry to keep the voice energetic and friendly rather than aggressive.
Counters are relatively small and apertures are somewhat closed, which increases visual weight and solidity at display sizes. The numerals match the same blocky geometry, and punctuation/spacing in the sample suggests the design aims for tight, energetic rhythm rather than airy refinement.
