Sans Superellipse Gagis 9 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Akzidenz-Grotesk' and 'Akzidenz-Grotesk W1G' by Berthold, 'Neue Helvetica' and 'Neue Helvetica Paneuropean' by Linotype, and 'Nimbus Sans Novus' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, oblique sans with compact proportions and a forward-leaning stance. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, and terminals read as blunt or subtly rounded rather than tapered. Curves and counters skew toward squarish, superellipse-like geometry, giving round letters a boxy solidity. Spacing is fairly tight and the overall texture is dense, built for impact at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a fast, forceful voice is needed. It also works well for sports or motorsport-inspired graphics, product packaging, and bold UI labels where compact, high-impact letterforms help conserve space while staying prominent.
The strong slant and dense weight create a sense of speed and pressure, reading energetic and assertive. Its squared-round forms feel contemporary and engineered, leaning toward a utilitarian, performance-oriented tone rather than refinement.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a streamlined, contemporary construction: a bold oblique workhorse for attention-grabbing display typography that suggests motion and strength without relying on decorative details.
Uppercase forms are broad-shouldered and sturdy, while lowercase shows single-storey shapes (notably the a and g) that keep the palette simple and functional. Numerals match the same blocky rhythm and hold up as bold, punchy figures in headings and short bursts of text.
