Sans Superellipse Updo 13 is a bold, very wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Gltp Starion' by Glowtype, 'Aeonis' by Linotype, 'Belle Sans' by Park Street Studio, 'Saint Regus' by Sonar Hubermann, and 'Radiate Sans' by Studio Sun (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, wide sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls (notably in C, G, O, and the lowercases), giving the forms a superelliptic feel rather than purely circular geometry. Strokes are largely uniform with smooth joins and minimal modulation, and apertures tend to be fairly open for the weight. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a tall, simple t with a short crossbar, and sturdy, compact terminals; numerals follow the same squared-round logic with broad, stable shapes.
Best suited for headlines, short passages, and display settings where its wide, rounded forms can project warmth and impact. It can also work for branding systems, packaging, and UI titles where a modern, approachable voice is needed and space allows for its broad set width.
The overall tone is friendly and contemporary, with a sturdy, straightforward confidence. The rounded-square geometry reads as playful and tech-adjacent while still feeling practical and legible, making it more inviting than strictly industrial grotesques.
The design appears intended to combine bold presence with a softened, geometric personality. By basing shapes on rounded rectangles and keeping strokes consistent, it aims for strong readability at large sizes while delivering a friendly, contemporary character.
Wide proportions and generous counters help keep the dense weight from clogging, especially in text. The rhythm is steady and even, with a noticeable “soft block” silhouette that remains consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
