Sans Superellipse Gykek 9 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Black Square' by Agny Hasya Studio, 'FX Ambasans' by Differentialtype, 'Lustra Text' by Grype, and 'Olney' by Philatype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy geometric sans with squarish, rounded-rectangle construction and generous corner radii throughout. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with broad horizontal terminals and counters that tend toward rectangular bowls, giving letters a compact, engineered feel. Curves are simplified into superellipse-like forms, and diagonals in A, V, W, X, Y, and Z read clean and sturdy rather than sharp. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, producing a consistent, modular rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, brand marks, product naming, and promotional graphics. The chunky, rounded geometry also fits interface labels, game titles, and tech or sports-oriented visual systems where a sturdy, contemporary voice is needed. It is most effective at medium-to-large sizes where its corner rounding and counter shapes can be clearly seen.
The overall tone is modern and assertive, with a distinctly tech-forward, industrial character. Its soft corners temper the mass, adding a friendly, game/UI-like personality while still feeling strong and utilitarian. The result is attention-grabbing and energetic, suited to contexts where boldness and clarity are part of the message.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, modern display voice built from rounded-rect forms—combining machine-like geometry with softened edges for approachability. Consistent construction across letters and numerals suggests an emphasis on cohesion and immediate recognizability in branding and signage contexts.
The lowercase shows simplified, single-storey behavior where applicable and maintains a tight, uniform texture in running text at display sizes. The Q’s short diagonal tail and the squared bowls in letters like O, D, P, and R reinforce the rounded-rectangle motif. Spacing appears designed to keep shapes from feeling cramped despite the heavy weight, supporting solid word silhouettes in headlines.
