Sans Superellipse Gileb 1 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Protrakt Variable' by Arkitype, 'Cralter' by Edignwn Type, 'Panton Rust' by Fontfabric, 'Reload' by Reserves, 'Apice' by Stefano Giliberti, and 'Meltow' by Typesketchbook (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with a compact footprint and softened corners throughout. Curves are built from squarish, superellipse-like forms, giving bowls and counters a sturdy, engineered feel rather than a purely circular one. Terminals are blunt and clean, joins are simple, and diagonals (as in K, V, W, X) read as solid wedges that maintain the same stroke thickness. Lowercase forms are robust and slightly condensed in feel, with single-storey a and g, and numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle construction for a consistent texture in dense settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding where its compact, rounded mass can carry visual weight. It also works well for short UI labels or signage-style messaging where clarity and presence matter more than delicate detail.
The overall tone is bold and approachable: strong enough for attention-grabbing statements, but softened by rounded geometry that keeps it from feeling aggressive. It suggests contemporary product design and clear, no-nonsense communication with a friendly edge.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive rounded-rect geometry, pairing strong legibility with a softened, contemporary personality. The consistent, blunt construction points to an intention of reliability and straightforward communication in display-forward contexts.
Counters tend to be relatively tight, which increases impact at display sizes and creates a dark, uniform color in paragraphs. The dot on i/j is round and prominent, and the shapes of 0/8/9 emphasize rounded, squared-off interior spaces that reinforce the geometric theme.
