Sans Superellipse Jibus 5 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Black Square' by Agny Hasya Studio, 'Plasma' by Corradine Fonts, 'Olney' by Philatype, 'RBNo3.1' by René Bieder, and 'Obvia Wide' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from squared, superellipse-like forms with generously rounded corners and a firmly rectilinear skeleton. Strokes are consistently thick with little modulation, producing strong, compact counters and crisp interior corners. Many characters show cut-in notches and flat terminals that emphasize a modular, engineered feel, while bowls and zeros read as rounded rectangles rather than circles. Spacing appears sturdy and deliberate, and the overall rhythm is more horizontal than vertical, reinforcing a broad, sign-like presence at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where its dense, squared forms can project impact—headlines, branding, product marks, posters, and packaging. It also fits short UI labels, signage, and titles where a rugged, technical voice is desired, though the heavy weight favors larger sizes over extended reading.
The font conveys a contemporary, tech-forward tone—confident, mechanical, and game-like. Its squared curves and dense shapes suggest durability and performance, evoking interfaces, machinery labels, and competitive sports branding.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a bold, highly legible display sans, balancing softened corners with assertive, industrial structure. Its simplified forms and consistent stroke treatment prioritize clarity and a distinctive, modern identity over traditional text neutrality.
The numeral set matches the squared-rounded construction, with the 0 as a rounded rectangle and other figures using flat joins and simplified geometry. Lowercase forms retain the same blocky logic (single-storey a, compact bowls, and straight-sided stems), helping mixed-case settings look cohesive and intentionally stylized.
