Sans Superellipse Kufy 1 is a very bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Arian' and 'Eurostile Candy' by Linotype, 'Bi Bi' by Naghi Naghachian, and 'Ddt' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are monolinear and compact, with broad horizontal footprints and generous interior rounding that keeps counters open despite the mass. Curves resolve into superellipse-like forms (notably in O, C, G, and zero), while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, Y, and Z are clean and sturdy, maintaining a controlled, engineered rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, and spacing reads even in display settings with a clear, mechanical cadence.
Best suited to bold headlines, poster typography, and identity work where strong silhouettes and a geometric, rounded-rect aesthetic are desirable. It can also work well for packaging, tech-forward branding, and large-scale signage where its chunky shapes and simplified construction remain legible at distance. In longer text, it will read as a display face due to its dense, attention-grabbing forms.
The overall tone is modern and synthetic, evoking technology, hardware, and streamlined transportation graphics. Its rounded squareness adds a friendly edge, while the thick, stable silhouettes project strength and confidence. The result feels contemporary and performance-oriented rather than editorial or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, contemporary display sans built from superelliptic geometry, balancing a machine-made feel with softened corners for approachability. It prioritizes impactful word shapes, consistent modularity across letters and numerals, and a cohesive tech-forward voice.
Uppercase forms appear particularly at home in headline use, with distinctive squared bowls and rounded corners that stay consistent across the set. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, giving interfaces and labeling a cohesive, system-like feel. The lowercase is straightforward and utilitarian, matching the uppercase’s modular logic rather than introducing calligraphic traits.
