Sans Superellipse Uknir 5 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'POLIGRA' by Machalski, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, 'Ggx89' by Typodermic, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with monoline strokes and strongly rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into squarish counters and terminals, giving bowls and apertures a superelliptical feel rather than circular. The design keeps tight internal spacing and compact sidebearings, producing a dense texture in text. Corners are consistently softened, and diagonals (such as in V, W, X, and Y) are straight, blunt, and visually sturdy, matching the squared rhythm of the vertical stems.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits signage, packaging labels, and sports or event branding where dense set widths and strong silhouettes help messages stay readable and attention-grabbing.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with a compact, engineered look that reads as industrial and no-nonsense. Its dense black presence and squared rounding evoke signage and workmanlike labeling more than delicate editorial typography.
Likely designed to maximize visual impact and space efficiency by pairing a condensed width with heavy, monoline strokes and rounded-rect geometry. The consistent superelliptical shaping suggests an intention to feel modern and functional while remaining friendly enough for bold display typography.
The lowercase shows simplified, sturdy forms with short extenders and a large x-height that keeps words highly legible at display sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with squared interior counters and emphatic, block-like silhouettes.
