Sans Superellipse Ipvi 1 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Imago W1G' by Berthold, 'Blak' by Extratype, 'Etrusco Now' by Italiantype, 'Blunt' by Miller Type Foundry, and 'Eurocine' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, right-slanted sans with compact internal spaces and rounded-rectangle construction in its curves. Strokes are thick and relatively uniform, with subtly softened corners and sheared terminals that emphasize motion. The shapes feel slightly squashed and engineered, with wide letter bodies, short apertures, and dense counters that create a strong, blocky texture in words. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with a prominent x-height and minimal modulation, keeping the rhythm consistent across mixed case and numerals.
This style works best for short, high-impact typography such as sports branding, event posters, team or product logos, apparel graphics, and promotional headlines. It can also serve as display type for UI banners or packaging where a strong, kinetic presence is desired, but it is less suited to long-form reading at small sizes due to its dense counters and heavy texture.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, projecting confidence and impact. Its forward lean and dense, muscular forms suggest speed, competition, and high-intensity messaging, while the rounded corners keep it from feeling sharp or aggressive in a harsh way.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a sense of forward motion, using a simplified, rounded-rect geometry and strong slant to read quickly and feel dynamic in branding contexts.
In text settings the weight and compact counters create a dark, continuous color, so generous tracking and line spacing help maintain clarity. The numerals match the same sturdy, slanted construction, reading as bold, poster-friendly figures.
