Sans Superellipse Tigen 12 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'CF Blast Gothic' by Fonts.GR, 'Miso' by Mårten Nettelbladt, and 'Coben' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and noticeably irregular contours. Strokes are thick and blunt-ended, with a subtly distressed, ink-worn edge that creates a textured silhouette across letters and figures. Counters are small and often squarish, and curves (O, C, G, 0) read more like softened boxes than true circles. Overall spacing and widths feel uneven in a deliberate, hand-made way, giving the set a lively, slightly jittery rhythm rather than a strictly modular one.
Best suited for short display text where texture and impact are desirable: posters, bold headlines, packaging labels, stickers, and merch graphics. It can also work for branding accents and social graphics, especially where a handmade or stamped feel is appropriate, but the rough edges and tight counters make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font conveys a rough, printed-by-hand attitude—somewhere between a rubber stamp, screenprint, and marker lettering. Its dense weight and worn texture create a bold, confident presence with an informal, slightly gritty energy.
The design appears intended to mimic bold, compact lettering with a worn print impression, combining rounded-rectangle geometry with intentionally imperfect edges for a tactile, analog feel.
Distinctive superellipse-like rounds and flattened terminals make the design feel blocky yet friendly. The distressed edge treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, so the texture becomes a core part of the voice rather than an occasional effect.
