Sans Superellipse Gukoy 10 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Forza' by Hoefler & Co., 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski, 'Gunar' by The Northern Block, and 'Eurostile' and 'Eurostile Round' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, producing solid, blocky silhouettes with minimal modulation and open, simplified counters. Curves resolve into broad superelliptical bowls, while joins and terminals stay clean and squared-off rather than tapered, giving the face a sturdy, engineered rhythm. Spacing and proportions favor short, powerful letterforms that hold together well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where strong typographic color is needed, such as posters, packaging, branding marks, and retail or wayfinding signage. It can also work for UI labels or calls-to-action when a dense, high-contrast-to-background word shape is desirable, though its heaviness favors display roles over extended reading.
The font projects a bold, contemporary confidence with an industrial practicality, softened by its rounded geometry. It feels assertive and attention-grabbing without becoming aggressive, balancing a utilitarian tone with a mildly friendly, approachable finish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through simplified geometry: superelliptical rounds, rounded corners, and thick, even strokes that remain highly legible at a glance. It prioritizes a modern, engineered aesthetic that stays approachable through softened edges and consistent, no-nonsense detailing.
Uppercase forms read especially monolithic and stable, while lowercase keeps the same geometric logic and weight, maintaining strong color on the line. Numerals match the type’s blocky footprint, with rounded corners and wide, sturdy shapes that emphasize impact over delicacy.
