Sans Superellipse Nyli 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Faculty' by Device, 'Allotrope' by Kostic, 'Amfibia' and 'Karibu' by ROHH, 'Amsi Pro' and 'Sans Beam' by Stawix, and 'Ansage' by Sudtipos (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with a superelliptical construction: corners are broadly filleted and bowls read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles. Strokes are thick and even, with tight internal counters that remain open thanks to careful shaping (notably in e, a, g, and 8). Terminals are blunt and soft, curves are slightly squarish, and joins are smooth, producing a solid “blocky” silhouette. The overall rhythm is energetic and slightly irregular in a deliberate way, with wide, stable verticals and compact apertures that keep word shapes dense and punchy.
Best used at display sizes where its dense color and rounded-rectangle geometry can carry impact—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when a friendly, high-visibility tone is desired, but longer paragraphs may feel heavy due to the tight counters and strong texture.
The letterforms feel friendly and upbeat, with a toy-like softness that reads as approachable rather than technical. Its chunky proportions and rounded corners suggest a retro display sensibility—confident, loud, and fun—well suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a soft, approachable voice—combining thick strokes and rounded, superelliptical forms to create a bold display sans that stays legible while feeling playful and contemporary-retro.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and geometric, while lowercase introduces more character through rounded shoulders and compact apertures. Numerals match the same inflated, superelliptical logic, maintaining consistent color and a cohesive, poster-ready texture in lines of text.
