Sans Superellipse Ifma 11 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Genius' by Artegra; 'Core Sans A', 'Core Sans AR', and 'Core Sans NR' by S-Core; and 'Artico' and 'Artico Soft' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms, with softened corners and broadly even stroke thickness. The proportions are expansive and squat, producing large internal shapes while keeping counters relatively compact, especially in letters like a, e, s, and g. Curves and straight segments meet with smooth, engineered transitions, and many terminals resolve into flat, blunt endings rather than tapered cuts. Overall spacing feels sturdy and stable, giving the alphabet a dense, poster-ready texture with clear, simplified silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where impact and warmth matter: posters, headline systems, packaging, and brand marks. It also works well for short blocks of UI or signage text when a friendly, attention-grabbing tone is desired, especially at larger sizes where the compact counters remain clear.
The font communicates a cheerful, approachable confidence—bold without feeling aggressive. Its rounded geometry and chunky rhythm evoke a contemporary-retro tone reminiscent of headline signage and playful branding, with a slightly toy-like, friendly character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence with a soft, modern geometry, pairing high mass with rounded, engineered shapes for approachable branding. It prioritizes bold legibility and distinctive silhouettes over delicate detail, making it ideal for quick recognition and strong typographic voice.
Round letters (O, Q, 0) read as squarish ovals with a controlled, superelliptical feel, and the numerals follow the same soft-rectilinear logic for a cohesive set. The lowercase shows single-storey constructions (notably a and g), reinforcing the informal, simplified voice and keeping forms consistent at large sizes.
