Sans Superellipse Tebig 9 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Prenton RP' by BluHead Studio, 'FF Clan' and 'FF Good Headline' by FontFont, 'Muller Next' by Fontfabric, 'Gotham' by Hoefler & Co., and 'Eastman Condensed' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with subtly irregular edge behavior that gives the silhouettes a slightly organic, pressed-ink feel rather than crisp geometry. Counters are small and rounded, apertures tend toward closed, and joins are sturdy, producing dense, high-impact letterforms that hold together well at display sizes. The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g), with short extenders and a generally blocky rhythm; punctuation and figures follow the same chunky, softened treatment.
Best suited to short, bold statements where its chunky forms can read cleanly—posters, headlines, packaging, labels, and merchandise graphics. It can also work for playful branding and social graphics, especially when ample tracking and line spacing are available.
The overall tone is cheerful and informal, leaning toward a vintage poster or toy-package energy. Its rounded massing and slightly roughened contours read as approachable and humorous rather than sleek or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft, friendly voice: heavy, rounded shapes for instant legibility at display sizes, plus a lightly handmade texture to keep the tone casual and characterful.
The texture created by the mild contour irregularities becomes more apparent in longer text, where it adds character but also reduces crispness in tight settings. The design favors strong silhouettes over interior detail, which can make similar shapes converge in very small sizes.
