Sans Superellipse Gebez 5 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Broadside' by Device, 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, 'PF DIN Text' by Parachute, 'Otoiwo Grotesk' by Pepper Type, and 'Red Top' by Studio K (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, oblique sans with heavy, uniform strokes and tightly controlled counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and terminals a squared-off softness rather than true circularity. The italic slant is strong and consistent, producing a forward-leaning rhythm with dense, efficient spacing and sturdy silhouettes. Numerals and capitals feel particularly blocklike, while lowercase forms keep a practical, workmanlike structure within the same rounded-corner language.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings like headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing branding. It can work well on packaging, sports or motorsport-inspired graphics, and bold UI labels where strong recognition at a glance matters more than extended reading comfort.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a distinctly athletic, in-motion feel. Its compressed proportions and strong slant read as fast, loud, and purposeful, suggesting performance and impact rather than refinement.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a pronounced oblique stance with rounded-rectangle construction for a tough, contemporary voice. It prioritizes bold presence, consistent texture, and fast visual momentum.
Round characters such as O/Q/0 stay firmly superelliptical, avoiding delicate apertures and maintaining dark, even color across text. The punctuation and curves shown in the samples hold their weight well at display sizes, where the oblique angle and compact width become key stylistic signals.
