Sans Superellipse Utkef 6 is a bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Arian', 'Eurostile Next', and 'Eurostile Next Paneuropean' by Linotype; 'Bi Bi', 'Novin', and 'Parsi' by Naghi Naghachian; and 'Eurostile Round' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, extended sans with a superelliptical construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes and corners are consistently softened rather than fully circular. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with compact interior counters that emphasize a sturdy, blocklike silhouette. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, and diagonals (as in A, V, W, X, Y, Z) are straight and crisp, giving the design a taut, engineered rhythm. Lowercase forms keep simple, geometric bowls; the single-storey a and g and the squared-off rounding throughout reinforce the family’s systematic, modular feel. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, with the 0 and 8 notably boxy-oval and the 2 and 3 built from firm horizontals and controlled curves.
Well suited to headlines and display typography where a strong, wide presence is desirable—such as posters, brand marks, product packaging, and environmental graphics. It can also work for UI titles, dashboards, and tech-oriented marketing where a clean, engineered aesthetic helps communicate precision and modernity.
The overall tone reads contemporary and performance-driven, with a distinctly technical, machine-made flavor. Its broad stance and softened corners balance toughness with approachability, evoking interfaces, transportation graphics, and modern product branding rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through broad proportions and a unified superelliptical geometry, producing a bold, modern voice that stays clean and functional. By standardizing rounding and keeping stroke behavior even, it aims for consistency across letters and numerals while retaining a distinctive, futuristic silhouette.
The wide proportions and tight counters make the face most comfortable at medium to large sizes, where its rounded-rect details and consistent corner treatment remain clear. The Q’s short, contained tail and the squared, capsule-like O further underline the superellipse theme across the set.
