Sans Superellipse Myli 12 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Heroxy' by Kulokale, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Aeroscope' by Umka Type, 'Drone Ranger Pro' by Vintage Type Company, and 'Muscle Cars' by Vozzy (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from compact, tall letterforms with a strongly vertical stance and tightly controlled proportions. Strokes are thick and consistent, with corners softened into rounded-rectangle turns rather than true circles, giving curves a squared-off, superelliptical feel. Apertures are generally small and counters are narrow, producing a dense, high-impact texture; spacing reads snug, especially in lowercase. The numerals and capitals follow the same modular, squared geometry, with simplified joins and minimal detailing.
Best suited to display sizes where its dense color and narrow counters can read as intentional punch—headlines, posters, merchandise, and bold branding systems. It also fits packaging and short-form signage where a compact, commanding word shape is desirable; for long passages, the tight apertures and heavy texture may feel intense.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, projecting a confident, no-nonsense voice. Its squared curves and compressed rhythm evoke industrial labeling and sports headline energy, with a slightly retro, arcade-like edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using a consistent rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms cohesive and highly recognizable. It prioritizes bold presence and a disciplined, engineered rhythm over delicate detailing or open, text-friendly apertures.
Round letters such as O/Q and C/G appear more like softened rectangles, reinforcing a systemized, stencil-signage aesthetic without actual breaks. The lowercase retains a sturdy, boxed-in construction, making mixed-case settings feel deliberately compact and emphatic rather than airy or conversational.
