Sans Superellipse Tidim 6 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Greeka' by Umka Type, and 'Heading Now' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with subtly uneven edges that read like ink spread or stamp wear, giving each letter a slightly distressed silhouette. Counters are small but kept open enough for clarity, and the overall fit is tight, producing a dense, poster-like rhythm. Terminals tend to be blunt and squared-off, while curves (C, O, S, a, e) feel superelliptical rather than purely circular.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, poster typography, packaging, labels, and bold brand marks where texture is a feature rather than a flaw. It can work for brief subheads or callouts, but the dense weight and distressed edges make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font conveys a bold, workmanlike energy—friendly and approachable, but also gritty and emphatic. Its worn texture suggests analog production, evoking packaging, posters, and vintage utilitarian signage. The overall tone is casual and expressive rather than sleek or corporate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint while introducing an analog, imperfect surface. By combining rounded-rectangle geometry with deliberate edge wear, it aims to feel both friendly and tough—like a stamped or screen-printed sans built for attention-grabbing display use.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and blocky, and the lowercase carries the same compact, rounded logic with simple, no-nonsense construction. Numerals match the weight and texture, with strong legibility in display sizes, while the distressed edges become more noticeable as size increases.
