Sans Superellipse Gimeb 1 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Judgement' by Device, 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Machinista' by T-26 (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms with large corner radii and predominantly uniform stroke thickness. Curves tend to flatten into squared bowls and counters, giving letters a blocky, compact silhouette and a steady, modular rhythm. Terminals are blunt and soft, joins are smooth, and many characters emphasize vertical stems with simplified interior shapes; counters are relatively small, boosting impact at display sizes. Distinctive cuts and notches appear in several glyphs, lending a slightly segmented, constructed feel without becoming ornate.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, logos, and bold brand marks where its chunky superellipse construction can read clearly and feel intentional. It can also work for packaging and short UI labels where a friendly, retro-tech tone is desired, but it’s less ideal for long passages or very small text.
The font reads as bold and approachable with a distinctly retro-futurist flavor. Its softened corners keep it friendly, while the engineered, cut-in details add a tech and arcade-like energy. Overall it feels confident, playful, and graphic rather than neutral or bookish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through simplified, rounded-rect geometry and compact counters, evoking mid-century/arcade-era display lettering. The systematic construction and repeated shapes suggest a focus on consistency and graphic presence over typographic delicacy.
The design leans toward headline impact: tight apertures and dense interiors create strong shapes but can reduce clarity at small sizes. The numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with the “0” and “8” especially emphasizing soft rectangular counters, and the overall set maintains consistent curvature and stroke behavior across cases.
