Sans Superellipse Gikib 1 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Outlast' by BoxTube Labs, 'Mexiland' and 'Pierce Jameson' by Grezline Studio, 'School Activities JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Radley' by Variatype, and 'Manifest' by Yasin Yalcin (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with squared, rounded-corner construction and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and corners, giving letters a soft-rectangular silhouette rather than circular forms. Terminals are blunt and flat, with tight interior apertures and compact counters that emphasize density. Proportions feel slightly condensed in many shapes, with strong verticals, stable horizontals, and an overall engineered rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where impact and clarity are needed: headlines, posters, brand marks, product packaging, and sports or event graphics. It also fits UI labels and short navigational text when a strong, technical voice is desired, though the tight apertures suggest avoiding very small sizes for extended reading.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, leaning industrial and techno with a sporty, scoreboard-like confidence. Its chunky geometry reads as modern and functional, designed to look strong and controlled rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through compact, squared-rounded geometry and disciplined stroke uniformity. Its consistent superellipse-based forms suggest a goal of creating a cohesive, contemporary system that feels engineered and robust across letters and numerals.
Uppercase forms maintain strict geometry and consistent corner radii, while lowercase mirrors the same squared, mechanical logic (notably in the single-storey-style shapes and boxy bowls). Numerals follow the same modular construction, with enclosed forms that remain highly uniform and visually sturdy.
