Sans Superellipse Gibuk 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Quayzaar' by Test Pilot Collective, and 'Architype Aubette' by The Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle construction, with broad, even strokes and soft corners throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters, often with rectangular apertures (notably in B, D, O, P, R, and 0/8/9), giving the design a machined, modular feel. Terminals are blunt and consistently rounded, with minimal stroke modulation and a steady rhythm that reads as compact and sturdy. Lowercase forms echo the same superelliptical logic; single-story a and g keep counters tight and squared, while i/j use round dots that contrast the otherwise rectilinear interior shapes.
Best suited to short-form, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, title cards, brand marks, and packaging where a strong silhouette is beneficial. It can also work well in interface or on-screen contexts that favor chunky, rounded-square letterforms and clear, bold presence.
The overall tone is assertive and contemporary, mixing a utilitarian, engineered voice with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It evokes digital interfaces, retro-tech labeling, and game or sci‑fi graphics—confident, loud, and slightly playful rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a consistent rounded-rect geometry, emphasizing sturdy silhouettes, tight counters, and a cohesive, modular system. It prioritizes a distinctive display texture over neutral text subtlety, aiming for a modern tech/industrial character with approachable rounded edges.
The numerals follow the same squared-round geometry, with a simple, angular 1 and a boxy 0 that matches the uppercase O. Diagonals (V, W, Y, Z) are simplified and stout, keeping the texture dense and uniform in display settings.
