Sans Superellipse Gyraf 9 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Eurostile Next' and 'Eurostile Next Paneuropean' by Linotype, 'Amsi Grotesk' and 'Cobe' by Stawix, and 'Eurostile' and 'Eurostile Round' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with block-like proportions and smoothly eased corners throughout. Curves are built from broad, superellipse-style bowls, producing large exterior radii and relatively tight interior counters. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with straight-sided verticals and horizontals that meet curves cleanly, creating a crisp, engineered rhythm. Terminals are largely blunt or softly squared, and the overall spacing feels open enough for clarity while maintaining a dense, impactful silhouette.
Best suited for display typography where strong presence and quick readability matter, such as headlines, logos, packaging, promotional graphics, and signage. It also works well for short UI labels or buttons when a friendly, high-impact sans is desired.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, with a friendly softness that keeps the weight from feeling aggressive. Its rounded geometry gives it an approachable, slightly playful voice suited to upbeat, consumer-facing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a warm, modern character, using rounded-rectilinear construction to balance strength and approachability. Consistent geometry across letters and numerals suggests an emphasis on brand coherence and bold, legible messaging.
Round letters like O/C/G and the lowercase bowls show a consistent rounded-rectangle construction, while angular forms (A, K, V, W, X, Y) keep sharp joins but retain softened edges. Numerals match the same stout, rounded structure, reading clearly at display sizes.
