Sans Superellipse Ilwa 6 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Galvani' by Hoftype, 'Bega' by Indian Type Foundry, 'Kobern' by The Northern Block, and 'Meutas' and 'Meutas Soft' by Trustha (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broad, smooth curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing compact internal counters and a dense, graphic texture. Terminals are blunt and softly squared, and curves tend toward superelliptical forms rather than perfect circles. The overall rhythm is forward-leaning and punchy, with sturdy joins and simplified shapes that keep the silhouettes bold and legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short slogans, and branding where bold presence and motion are desirable. It can work well for sports and fitness identities, promotional posters, packaging, and social graphics, especially when set large enough to preserve the small counters and tight apertures.
The tone is energetic and confident, with a sporty slant that suggests motion and impact. Its rounded geometry keeps the weight from feeling harsh, adding a friendly, contemporary edge while still reading as assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a smooth, modern feel—combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded superelliptical shapes to create a fast, friendly, high-energy display voice.
Round letters like O and Q appear tightly enclosed, emphasizing a strong ink footprint, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) read especially dynamic due to the oblique stance. Numerals match the same chunky, rounded construction, maintaining consistent color across mixed text.
