Sans Superellipse Gumut 4 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Geogrotesque Expanded Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Nuber' and 'Nuber Next' by The Northern Block, and 'Ddt' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and generously softened corners. Strokes are uniform with minimal modulation, and counters tend to be squarish, producing a compact, sturdy color on the page. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and S resolve into superelliptical arcs rather than true circles, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y stay straight and crisp. Numerals follow the same squared-rounded logic, with a simple, open ‘4’ and broad, stable ‘0–9’ forms.
Well-suited to display roles where impact and clarity matter—headlines, posters, product branding, and signage. Its rounded geometry also works nicely for interface labels and dashboards where a modern, friendly solidity is desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and approachable, combining a friendly softness from the rounded corners with a confident, no-nonsense weight. It reads as pragmatic and tech-adjacent rather than formal, giving copy a strong presence without feeling sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary sans built from rounded-rectilinear geometry, balancing soft corners with compact, legible structures. It prioritizes consistency and recognizability across letters and figures for punchy, straightforward communication.
Spacing appears even and steady, supporting dense setting and prominent headlines. The lowercase shows clear, simplified shapes (single-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’) that reinforce the geometric, sign-like rhythm, while punctuation and terminals remain plain and functional.
