Sans Superellipse Ibrug 9 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Klik' by Fenotype, 'Goodrich' by Hendra Pratama, 'Flyer' by Linotype, 'Futura Now' by Monotype, 'Futura Futuris' by ParaType, and 'Futura SB' and 'Futura SH' by Scangraphic Digital Type Collection (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and uniform, with minimal contrast and sturdy verticals that create a dense, dark texture. Curves are tight and controlled, counters are relatively small, and many joins feel slightly squared-off rather than fully circular, giving the shapes a blocky yet rounded profile. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with short extenders, producing an efficient, space-saving rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, short calls-to-action, and brand marks that need a bold, compact voice. It also works well for packaging, labels, and signage where durability and immediate recognition matter more than fine detail. For longer passages, it benefits from larger sizes and generous tracking/leading to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and upbeat, combining the authority of a heavy display weight with a congenial, rounded geometry. It feels sporty and approachable rather than formal, with a lively, attention-grabbing presence that reads as modern and slightly retro in spirit.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using superelliptical curves and rounded corners to keep the tone friendly while staying punchy. Its consistent stroke weight and compact proportions suggest a display-first intent for bold messaging and graphic applications.
In the sample text, the heavy color and compact spacing create strong headline impact, but the small counters and tight apertures can start to close up as size decreases. Numerals share the same stout, rounded-rectilinear logic, reading best when given enough size and air.
