Sans Superellipse Etkey 5 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Fairweather' by Dharma Type, 'Resolve Sans' by Fenotype, 'Branding SF' by Latinotype, 'Mynor' by The Northern Block, and 'Robusta' by Tilde (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, condensed sans with a pronounced forward slant and heavy, even stroke weight. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing smooth bowls and softly squared curves, while counters stay tight and vertical strokes dominate. Terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, with a slightly pinched, aerodynamic feel in joints and diagonals. The overall rhythm is dense and upright in structure but pushed forward by the consistent oblique angle, creating strong horizontal momentum in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings where density and emphasis matter: headlines, posters, promotional graphics, and bold labeling. It can work well in sports or automotive-themed branding and in directional or retail signage where a fast, condensed voice is desirable.
The face conveys speed and insistence—like signage meant to be read quickly and acted on immediately. Its compressed proportions and slanted stance feel sporty and energetic, while the robust strokes keep it confident and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in limited space, combining condensed width with a consistent oblique angle for motion and urgency. Its rounded-rectangle construction suggests an effort to stay modern and streamlined while remaining sturdy and highly legible at display sizes.
Round letters (such as O/C/G) read as superelliptical rather than purely circular, which helps maintain a squared, industrial cohesion across the set. The numerals echo the same compact, forward-driven construction, supporting a consistent tone in mixed alphanumeric settings.
