Sans Superellipse Firot 9 is a very bold, very wide, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Artegra Sans' by Artegra, 'Adero' by Eko Bimantara, 'Fordek' by Isolatype, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, 'Corbert Wide' by The Northern Block, and 'Good Times' and 'Good Timing' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, extended oblique sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and broad, flattened curves. Strokes are monolinear and firmly capped with softened corners, giving counters and apertures a streamlined, engineered feel. The slant is consistent across upper and lower case, while width varies by letter in a way that preserves a tight, forward-leaning rhythm. Numerals and round letters (O, Q, 0, 8) read as squarish rounds, and many terminals end in horizontal or slightly sheared cuts that reinforce the italic momentum.
Best suited to large-size applications where its oblique stance and wide, rounded shapes can drive impact—sports identities, event posters, product marks, and punchy packaging. It can also work for short UI or dashboard labels in display contexts where a bold, technical voice is desired.
The overall tone is fast, confident, and contemporary, with a motorsport/tech flavor. Its wide stance and rounded geometry feel modern and industrial rather than friendly, suggesting speed, performance, and impact. The strong silhouette and consistent slant give it a punchy, headline-first attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, speed-forward sans with rounded-rectangular geometry and an engineered, aerodynamic feel. Emphasis is placed on strong silhouettes, consistent obliquing, and modern squarish rounds to create a distinctive, contemporary display voice.
Lowercase forms lean toward single-storey, simplified construction with compact joins and tight-looking internal spaces at smaller sizes. The extreme weight and rounded corners create prominent black shapes and distinctive word images, while the slanted horizontals and squared curves keep the texture crisp and purposeful.
