Sans Superellipse Sibih 1 is a bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Albireo' and 'Albireo Soft' by Cory Maylett Design, 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' by Emtype Foundry, and 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with tall proportions and compact interior counters. Strokes are largely uniform with subtle modulation, and curves tend toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and terminals a firm, engineered feel. Uppercase forms are narrow and high with straight-sided construction, while lowercase keeps a compact footprint with sturdy stems and restrained apertures. Numerals follow the same condensed rhythm, reading clearly at display sizes with a strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, poster typography, and wayfinding or label-style signage where a compact width is helpful. It can also work for branding and packaging that needs a strong, condensed wordmark-like presence.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic—more industrial signage than friendly editorial. Its tight, vertical rhythm and dark color create an assertive voice that feels modern, functional, and attention-grabbing without relying on decorative quirks.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, prioritizing a strong vertical rhythm and sturdy, rounded-rectilinear forms for a confident, modern display voice.
The design maintains a consistent condensed cadence across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, which helps headings feel cohesive. The tight counters and dense color suggest it will be most comfortable when given generous tracking and line spacing, especially in longer all-caps settings.
