Sans Superellipse Ipni 4 is a very bold, very wide, medium contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Maximum' by Device, '1312 Sugoi' by Ezequiel Filoni, 'Taz' by LucasFonts, 'Blunt' by Miller Type Foundry, and 'Gigranche' by Ridtype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, right-leaning sans with broad proportions and a tightly packed, forward-driving stance. Letterforms are built from chunky, squared-off strokes with noticeably rounded corners and superellipse-like curves, creating smooth, padded edges rather than sharp cuts. Counters are small and often horizontally compressed, while terminals tend to be blunt or subtly sheared, reinforcing a streamlined, engineered feel. The overall rhythm is dense and muscular, with consistent stroke weight and compact internal space that favors impact over delicacy.
Best suited to large sizes where its tight counters and dense mass remain legible—headlines, poster typography, esports and sports branding, packaging callouts, and bold logo wordmarks. It also works well for short UI or product labels where a fast, modern tone is desired, but it’s less ideal for long-form reading due to its compact internal space.
The font communicates speed and force, with a decisive, competitive tone that feels at home in performance-oriented and tech-forward contexts. Its slant and compact counters add urgency, while the rounded geometry keeps the voice modern and controlled rather than rough or distressed.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a sleek, contemporary silhouette: wide, powerful shapes, a strong forward slant, and rounded-rectangular geometry that reads as aerodynamic and modern. The intent appears to balance brute weight with polished curves to create an energetic display voice.
Distinctive notched or stepped details appear in a few glyphs (notably in some lowercase forms), adding a mechanical accent to the otherwise smooth superelliptical construction. Numerals follow the same bulky, rounded-rectangle logic, reading as sturdy and display-oriented rather than text-centric.
