Sans Superellipse Yipu 1 is a very bold, very wide, medium contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATC Duel' by Avondale Type Co., '1312 Sugoi' by Ezequiel Filoni, and 'Loft' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).
Keywords: sports branding, racing graphics, headlines, posters, logotypes, sporty, futuristic, aggressive, industrial, dynamic, speed emphasis, impact display, tech styling, branding, rounded, extended, oblique, blocky, compressed counters.
A heavy, extended oblique sans with squared-off, superelliptical curves and large-radius corners. Strokes are monolinear in feel with frequent horizontal slicing and notched terminals that create a segmented, engineered look. Counters are compact and often rectangular, with tight apertures and sturdy joins that emphasize mass and forward motion. The overall rhythm is wide and low, with consistent slant, flattened curves, and a deliberate preference for straight segments over fully round bowls.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, racing/event graphics, bold packaging callouts, and headline or poster typography. It performs well when large, where the notches and split strokes remain crisp and contribute to the kinetic, engineered character.
The font reads fast and forceful, with a motorsport and sci‑fi edge. Its angled stance and cut-in details suggest speed, machinery, and competitive energy rather than warmth or classic neutrality.
The design appears intended to combine maximum visual weight with a streamlined, forward-leaning stance, using rounded-rectangle geometry and deliberate cutaways to evoke speed and modern machinery.
Uppercase forms are especially compact in their internal spaces, while the lowercase maintains clear silhouettes through distinctive horizontal cuts in letters like a, e, s, and z. Numerals follow the same extended, slanted construction; several figures use split strokes that reinforce the technical, modular theme.
