Sans Superellipse Jirib 1 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Horesport' by Mightyfire, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Alma Mater' and 'Oscar Bravo' by Studio K (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans with straight-sided strokes and rounded-rectangle curves. Corners are consistently chamfered, producing an octagonal silhouette across bowls and terminals, while counters stay relatively small and rectangular. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with short arms and compact apertures that keep words dense and uniform. Curved letters like O, C, and G read as superelliptical shapes, and the overall construction feels modular and mechanical rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to short-form display settings where impact matters: headlines, posters, signage, apparel graphics, and bold brand marks. It can also work for labels and packaging that benefit from a rugged, engineered feel, especially when set with generous tracking to open up the tight forms.
The font conveys a bold, no-nonsense tone with a slightly retro, industrial flavor. Its compressed stance and clipped corners suggest speed, toughness, and engineered precision, lending it a sporty, arcade-like energy without becoming playful.
Likely designed as a high-impact condensed display face that stays legible through geometric simplification: uniform stroke weight, clipped corners, and superelliptical bowls. The intention appears to balance a utilitarian, machine-made structure with enough rounding to keep large text approachable rather than harsh.
Round forms are built from rounded rectangles, giving the type a distinctive “cut-corner” texture in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals share the same squared-round logic and look especially strong in large sizes, where the chamfers and compact counters become key identifying features.
