Sans Superellipse Jinub 12 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Machinista' by T-26, and 'Acorna' and 'Caviara' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from squarish, superellipse-like forms with generous corner rounding and broad, flat terminals. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing strong, solid silhouettes and compact counters. Curves tend to resolve into rounded-rectangle geometry rather than true circles, while diagonals and joins are simplified into crisp, angular notches in letters like K, M, N, V, W, X, and Y. The overall rhythm is tight and modular, with sturdy verticals and squared bowls that keep the texture dense and uniform in lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where bold, compact forms can carry impact—headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging. It also fits interfaces and entertainment contexts (notably gaming and tech) where a sturdy, modular texture and rounded-rectangle geometry feel at home.
The font feels robust and machine-made, blending a retro arcade flavor with a modern tech/industrial edge. Its chunky, softened geometry reads as confident and utilitarian, while the rounded corners and cut-in joins add a slightly playful, game-UI character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a consistent, constructed geometry: rounded-rectangle foundations, simplified joins, and deliberate notches that create a distinctive, engineered voice while keeping letterforms highly uniform.
Distinctive ink-trap-like cuts and wedge notches appear at several joins, helping separate shapes at large sizes and adding personality. Numerals follow the same squarish geometry; the 0 is a rounded rectangle with a compact counter, and several figures feature stepped or notched details that reinforce the modular, constructed look.
