Sans Superellipse Bymiw 5 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Coign' by Colophon Foundry, 'Segment B Type' by Kobuzan, and 'Tusker Grotesk' by Lewis McGuffie Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A highly condensed sans with monoline strokes and strongly vertical proportions. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms, producing smooth, squared-off counters and corners rather than purely circular geometry. Terminals are clean and unadorned, with a consistent stroke thickness and tight internal spaces that emphasize a compact, stacked rhythm. Numerals follow the same tall, narrow construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, poster typography, branding wordmarks, packaging, and signage where vertical emphasis and compact width are beneficial. It can also work for short UI labels or editorial subheads when set with comfortable tracking and generous leading.
The overall tone is contemporary and forceful, with a compressed stance that feels efficient and attention-grabbing. Its rounded-rect geometry adds a polished, engineered character that reads as modern and slightly industrial rather than playful.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, contemporary sans voice. The superellipse-like shaping and monoline construction suggest a goal of consistent texture, crisp reproduction, and a modern, engineered aesthetic.
Because the design is extremely compressed, it creates strong vertical texture and can feel dense in longer lines, especially where counters get tight. It excels when letterspacing and line length are managed to preserve clarity.
