Sans Superellipse Gikuj 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Military Jr34' by Casloop Studio, and 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-based sans with a strong rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into squared bowls and softened corners, producing superelliptic counters in letters like O, D, and P. Strokes are monolinear and broadly uniform, with compact apertures and tight internal spaces that emphasize solidity. Many joins and terminals are cut with angled or stepped geometry (notably in A, K, R, S, and 2), giving the design a machined, engineered rhythm while keeping overall edges smoothly radiused.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where high-impact typography is needed. The sturdy construction also works well for sports identities, packaging, UI labels, and signage that benefits from a technical, industrial voice. It performs strongest at medium-to-large sizes where the rounded-square details and tight apertures remain legible.
The tone is forceful and functional, with a contemporary, industrial feel. Its rounded-square forms read as technical and equipment-like, while the mass and tight counters add urgency and impact. Overall it suggests modern utility—confident, no-nonsense, and built for bold statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a controlled, geometric system based on rounded rectangles. By combining softened corners with angular cuts and compact counters, it aims to feel modern and engineered while staying friendly enough for contemporary branding and display applications.
Uppercase shapes lean toward rectangular proportions (E, F, H) while round letters maintain a squarish silhouette, keeping texture consistent across words. Numerals follow the same geometry, with especially squared forms in 0, 6, 8, and 9 and angular breaks in 2 and 4. At smaller sizes, the dense counters and narrow openings may reduce clarity, but at display sizes the shapes look crisp and distinctive.
