Sans Superellipse Jati 9 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bongo' by Bogusky 2, 'Barion' by Drizy Font, 'Beachwood' and 'Jetlab' by Swell Type, and 'Pricedown' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, poster-like color. Counters are small and often rectangular or slit-like (notably in A, B, D, O, P, R), and many joins are squared and abrupt, giving a machined, cut-from-solid feel. Uppercase forms are compact and squared; lowercase maintains a straightforward, sturdy structure with a single-storey a and g and a simple, vertical i/j with round dots. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, with angular cuts and tight internal space.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, logos, and bold branding where its compact shapes and heavy weight can dominate the layout. It can work well on packaging or signage at moderate-to-large sizes; for longer passages, the tight counters suggest using ample size and tracking for comfort.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a distinct retro-display flavor reminiscent of sports lettering and industrial signage. Rounded corners keep it friendly enough for playful, high-energy applications while the dense texture reads as confident and tough.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a simplified, rounded-rect geometry: a no-nonsense display face that stays legible under heavy weight while projecting a sporty, industrial confidence.
Spacing appears generous for such a heavy design, helping letters stay distinct despite tight counters and deep ink traps/cut-ins in places like S and 2. The W is especially chunky and segmented, reinforcing the font’s geometric, modular rhythm.
