Sans Superellipse Ukrif 1 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, 'Grand' by North Type, 'Hornsea FC' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Brumder' by Trustha (names referenced only for comparison).

A dense, block-built sans with monoline strokes and tight, condensed proportions. Curves are largely squared off into rounded-rectangle forms, giving counters and bowls a superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are flat and abrupt, with consistent corner rounding that keeps the texture even in large settings. Several joins and apertures are engineered with straight cuts and notches, creating a slightly stencil-like, machined construction and a strong vertical rhythm.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, poster typography, logos/wordmarks, and bold packaging statements. It can work well for signage and labels where a compact, vertical texture is helpful, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where the engineered details remain clear.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a functional, industrial character. Its squared geometry and compact width read as technical and contemporary, while the softened corners prevent it from feeling brittle. The result is confident and attention-grabbing, suited to messaging that wants to feel direct and engineered.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while maintaining a coherent, modular geometry. Rounded-rectangle construction and consistent stroke behavior suggest a focus on clarity, repeatable shapes, and a modern industrial voice for display-led typography.
Spacing and interior counters are relatively tight, emphasizing a dark, continuous typographic color. The numerals share the same squared, rounded-corner logic and maintain a uniform, sign-like presence. The font’s distinctive cut-ins and rectangular counters make it highly recognizable, especially in capitals and headline settings.
