Sans Superellipse Kufy 12 is a very bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Miura' by DSType, 'Muller Next' by Fontfabric, 'Gltp Starion' by Glowtype, 'Gremlin' by Hazztype, and 'Radiate Sans' by Studio Sun (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with superellipse construction: rounds are based on squarish, rounded-rectangle curves rather than circles, giving bowls and counters a compact, engineered feel. Strokes are monolinear with smooth joins and gently rounded terminals, and the overall silhouette reads blocky yet softened. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while lowercase stays simple and utilitarian with open apertures and minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, keeping a consistent, robust texture in text and at display sizes.
This face performs best in short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, posters, signage, and bold brand marks where its broad, superelliptical shapes can read quickly. It can also work for packaging and UI labels when a sturdy, modern voice is needed, especially at larger sizes where the compact counters remain clear.
The tone is confident and contemporary, mixing a technical, built-from-components precision with approachable softness from the rounded corners. It feels energetic and functional, suited to modern branding that wants strength without sharpness.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary sans with an engineered superellipse skeleton—maximizing impact and legibility while softening the tone through rounded corners and smooth terminals.
The design leans on squared curves and flattened bowls, producing a dense, even typographic color and strong word shapes. Corners and terminals are consistently softened, which helps maintain clarity despite the weight and adds a friendly edge to an otherwise industrial geometry.
