Sans Superellipse Upbe 1 is a very bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Logik' and 'Verbatim' by Monotype and 'NeoGram' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle geometry throughout. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptic feel. Strokes remain largely uniform, terminals are blunt, and joins are clean and engineered. The set reads wide and stable, with compact internal spaces in letters like B, D, O, P, and R, and a single-storey a with a broad, horizontal ear. Numerals follow the same squared-round construction, with closed, robust forms and a clear, angular 7.
Best suited to large sizes where its dense, squared-round shapes can project impact—headlines, posters, and prominent brand marks. It also works well for sports and tech identities, product packaging, and bold UI moments such as navigation labels or feature callouts, where a strong, engineered tone is desired.
The overall tone is confident and functional, with a distinctly contemporary, tech-and-equipment character. Its rounded corners soften the mass, but the dense shapes and compact counters keep the voice forceful and impact-driven. The vibe leans toward sports branding and industrial UI—bold, modern, and slightly futuristic rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a controlled, geometric system: wide proportions, uniform strokes, and rounded-rectangle curves that feel machined rather than handwritten. It prioritizes solidity and contemporary styling, aiming for clear, high-impact display use while maintaining consistent, repeatable shapes across letters and numerals.
The rhythm is highly uniform and monoline, producing a strong, even color in text. Several forms emphasize engineered geometry: squarish bowls, squared-off shoulders, and broad horizontals (notably in E/F/T and the lowercase a/t). The uppercase Q features a pronounced tail, and the lowercase g is single-storey with a sturdy, geometric construction.
