Sans Superellipse Tuby 10 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'EF DIN 1451' by Elsner+Flake, 'DIN 1451' by Linotype, 'Nuber Next' by The Northern Block, and 'Cervo' by Typoforge Studio (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and visibly uneven edges that feel hand-inked. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with soft corners and slightly wobbly verticals that create a lively rhythm across words. Counters are moderately open for the weight, and curves (O, C, G, S) read as squarish rounds rather than true circles, reinforcing a superellipse-like geometry. Overall spacing is a touch irregular, contributing to an organic, handcrafted texture in both caps and lowercase.
Works best for display settings where texture and personality are desirable: posters, packaging, labels, cover art, and short editorial headlines. It can also support branding for casual, craft-forward products, but the rough edges and tight, heavy shapes are less suited to long-form text at small sizes.
The font conveys a casual, handmade confidence—more zine and craft-paper than corporate. Its slightly rough silhouette and squat, rounded forms give it a friendly, approachable tone with a bit of grit, suitable for expressive headlines and informal messaging.
The design appears intended to merge sturdy, simplified sans letterforms with an intentionally imperfect, hand-stamped finish. Its rounded-rect geometry and monoline weight aim for strong impact, while the irregular outline adds warmth and human presence.
Capitals are tall and chunky with simplified joins, while the lowercase keeps similarly sturdy proportions with rounded terminals and a consistent, slightly distressed edge. Numerals match the same blocky, soft-cornered style, staying legible while maintaining the rough, inked character.
