Sans Superellipse Jefu 1 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Leco 1976' by CarnokyType, 'Bulk Weight JNL' by Jeff Levine, and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded-rectilinear sans with squared, superellipse-like curves and consistently thick strokes. Letterforms are built from broad verticals and flattened horizontals, with tight apertures and small, often rectangular counters that read like cut-ins. Corners are softened rather than sharp, giving the geometry a molded, stamped feel. Proportions are compact with a tall lowercase presence, and the overall rhythm is chunky and modular, lending strong silhouette clarity at larger sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and packaging where its bold, modular shapes can dominate the page. It also works well for display in entertainment contexts—especially retro-tech or game-adjacent UI—where a chunky, geometric voice is desired. For longer text, it benefits from generous tracking and ample size to keep tight apertures readable.
The tone is bold and game-like, mixing industrial sturdiness with a retro-digital character. Its softened corners keep it friendly, while the dense black shapes and narrow openings add a forceful, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through simplified, rounded-rectilinear construction and compact counters, producing a distinctive, industrial-meets-arcade display style.
Several glyphs emphasize rectangular interior spaces and notched joins, creating a distinctive “machined” texture across words. Numerals and caps share the same block-based construction, supporting a consistent, signage-oriented color in running lines.
