Sans Superellipse Gykep 5 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'FX Ambasans' by Differentialtype, 'Lustra Text' by Grype, 'Glint' by Pesic, and 'Sweet Square' by Sweet (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy geometric sans built from squared, superelliptical shapes with consistently rounded corners. Strokes are broad and even, with minimal contrast and a stable upright construction. Many letters favor boxy bowls and rectangular counters (notably in O, D, P, and 0), while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are cut cleanly and feel engineered rather than calligraphic. Curves resolve into flat-ish segments and soft radii, producing a modular rhythm and a sturdy, compact interior space across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display use where impact and clarity are key: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and sports/tech marketing. It also fits UI or product labeling when a bold, device-like voice is desired, though the dense weight and compact counters suggest using it at larger sizes for maximum legibility.
The overall tone is modern and assertive, with a distinctly technological and industrial flavor. Its squared-round geometry reads as futuristic and sporty, projecting strength and efficiency rather than warmth or elegance. The dense color and blocky silhouettes give it a confident, headline-forward presence.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a cohesive alphabet with a strong, contemporary voice. By prioritizing uniform stroke weight, squared bowls, and softened corners, it aims to feel both robust and streamlined, echoing industrial design and digital hardware aesthetics.
Uppercase forms are especially uniform and sign-like, with broad shoulders and rounded-rectangle terminals. Lowercase maintains the same squared geometry and a sturdy, utilitarian feel, while numerals echo the font’s superellipse theme—particularly the rounded-rectangle 0 and the segmented, engineered curves in 2, 3, 5, and 9.
