Sans Superellipse Akfu 6 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, 'Nulato' by Stefan Stoychev, and 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, monoline sans with squared-off curves and generously rounded corners, giving many forms a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) silhouette. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal modulation, terminals are mostly flat, and counters tend to be rectangular with softened corners. Proportions feel tall and efficient, with narrow apertures and tight internal space, creating a dense, high-ink texture in text. The uppercase set is straightforward and geometric, while the lowercase maintains the same rigid, boxy construction with single-storey forms and simplified joins.
Best suited to short-to-medium text at larger sizes where its dense texture and squared-rounded detailing can be appreciated. It works well for tech branding, product labels, dashboards, posters, and wayfinding where a clean, engineered voice is desirable.
The overall tone is technical and engineered, with a controlled, machine-made rhythm. Its rounded-square geometry reads futuristic and industrial at once, suggesting interfaces, instrumentation, and modern product ecosystems rather than editorial warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern geometric sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle construction—prioritizing clarity, uniformity, and a contemporary “hardware/UI” character while remaining straightforward enough for practical display use.
Round characters such as O/Q/0 and related bowls lean strongly toward squared geometry rather than true circles, reinforcing a modular, UI-like feel. Numerals are sturdy and legible with broad, simplified shapes that match the alphabet’s compact construction.
