Sans Superellipse Upfu 1 is a very bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Square 721' by Bitstream; 'Arian', 'Eurostile Candy', and 'Eurostile LT' by Linotype; and 'Bi Bi' by Naghi Naghachian (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, extended sans with a squared, superellipse construction: corners are broadly rounded while curves flatten into straight segments, creating a rounded-rectangle rhythm across the alphabet. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with compact, rectangular counters (notably in O, P, R, and numerals) and minimal apertures that keep forms tightly closed. Terminals tend to be blunt and horizontally/vertically resolved rather than calligraphic, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) are broad and stable with a machined feel. The lowercase echoes the same geometry with a tall x-height impression and simplified, single-storey shapes, producing a consistent, blocky texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, titles, logos, and branding where a bold, modern statement is needed—especially in tech, gaming, sports, and industrial contexts. It can work for short UI labels or packaging callouts, but the tight counters and dense color are most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels engineered and futuristic, with an athletic, tech-forward voice. Its rounded-square geometry reads confident and utilitarian, leaning toward display use where a strong, modern presence is desired.
The design appears intended to translate a rounded-rectangle, machine-made geometry into a readable sans that feels contemporary and high-impact. Its consistent superellipse logic and compact counters suggest a focus on strong silhouettes and a controlled, futuristic texture for display typography.
Letterforms prioritize silhouette clarity over internal whitespace, so the font builds a dark, compact color in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same squared-counter logic, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like aesthetic across alphanumerics.
