Sans Superellipse Ibnoz 6 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Akkordeon' by Emtype Foundry, 'Tungsten' by Hoefler & Co., 'Alumni' by TypeSETit, and 'Lektorat' by TypeTogether (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like curves and subtly rounded corners. The forms are built from broad vertical stems and flattened bowls, with minimal stroke modulation and mostly closed apertures that keep counters small and dark. Terminals are generally blunt, and joins are sturdy, giving the letters a dense, uniform texture. Spacing appears tight and efficient, producing strong vertical rhythm and a solid typographic “wall” in text.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where maximum impact is needed—posters, display typography, signage, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for sports or industrial-themed branding and attention-grabbing labels, especially at medium to large sizes where the tight apertures remain clear.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian—more about presence than nuance. Its blocky, compact shapes evoke signage, sports and institutional graphics, and other contexts where bold clarity and urgency are desired.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography with a compact footprint: strong verticals, minimal contrast, and superellipse-derived curves that read quickly and reproduce reliably. The emphasis is on dense color, confident shapes, and a straightforward, modern utility.
Round letters such as O/C/G lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry rather than circular construction, and several lowercase forms echo the uppercase’s compressed, high-waisted structure. Numerals are similarly stout and compact, matching the dense color of the alphabet.
