Sans Superellipse Idbez 12 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'HD Node Sans' by HyperDeluxe, 'Molde' by Letritas, 'Halagar' by Letteralle, 'Reznik' by The Northern Block, and 'Breuer Headline' by TypeTrust (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly radiused corners throughout. Strokes are thick and uniform, with tight-looking counters and compact apertures that emphasize mass and solidity. Curves on letters like C, O, and G resolve into squarish bowls rather than true circles, while diagonals (V, W, X, K) feel stout and slightly compressed. Terminals are blunt and clean, giving the face a firm, engineered rhythm that stays consistent from caps through figures.
Best suited to large sizes where its chunky silhouettes and rounded-rect forms can deliver maximum impact—headlines, posters, bold packaging panels, wayfinding, and athletic or workwear-style branding. It can also serve as a strong typographic accent in UI or editorial layouts when used sparingly for titles and callouts.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, projecting a confident, poster-ready voice. Its rounded corners soften the aggression of the weight, balancing toughness with approachability. The result feels sporty and industrial, with a subtle retro sign-painter/athletic-block flavor.
The design appears aimed at creating a highly legible, high-impact display sans that reads as robust and modern while retaining softened geometry. Its consistent superelliptical curves and blunt terminals suggest an intention to feel engineered and dependable rather than delicate or expressive.
Spacing reads generous enough for display, but the dense internal shapes and small openings suggest it performs best when given room. Numerals follow the same squarish-rounded logic, producing a cohesive, uniform texture in headlines and big labels.
