Sans Superellipse Gymap 9 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Hyperspace Race' and 'Hyperspace Race Capsule' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and counters, while straight strokes stay broad and even, producing a compact, solid silhouette. Many joins and terminals are cut cleanly with flat ends, and diagonal letters (like A, K, V, W, X, Y) use sturdy, straight geometry rather than calligraphic modulation. Uppercase forms feel tightly built and squared-off (notably the C/G and O/Q families), while the lowercase keeps a large, open x-height with simple, blocky shapes and minimal detailing.
Best suited for display typography where strong presence and quick recognition matter: headlines, posters, packaging, brand marks, and athletic/tech-forward identity systems. It also works well for signage and large-format wayfinding where the squared rounds and large internal spaces remain readable at distance, while longer paragraphs may feel dense due to the heavy, compact forms.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a distinctly technical, contemporary flavor. Its rounded-square forms suggest modern hardware, UI panels, and athletic or motorsport graphics, giving text a confident, engineered presence rather than a friendly handwritten feel.
This font appears designed to deliver a modern, engineered look by combining sturdy stroke weight with rounded-rectangular geometry. The intent seems to emphasize impact and consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive voice for contemporary, high-energy visual systems.
Counters are generally rectangular-to-rounded, creating a strong, consistent rhythm in both letters and figures. Numerals are similarly constructed and look optimized for impact, with clear, chunky shapes suited to large sizes and short strings. The punctuation shown (e.g., apostrophe, colon) follows the same squared, robust logic, maintaining visual consistency in display settings.
