Sans Superellipse Idbug 13 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Antry Sans' by Mans Greback, 'Amsi Pro' and 'Sans Beam' by Stawix, and 'Marble' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are monolinear and dense, producing dark, even color in text. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls (notably in C, O, and e), while joins and terminals stay blunt and squared-off rather than tapered. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with single-storey forms (a, g) and minimal interior detailing; counters are tight and apertures are relatively closed, emphasizing a solid, poster-like silhouette. Numerals are similarly weighty and geometric, keeping consistent width and rounded corners for a uniform, blocky rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and display typography where its dense weight and rounded geometry can create immediate presence. It also fits branding and packaging that benefit from a friendly, robust voice, and bold signage where simple shapes and strong silhouettes carry from a distance.
The overall tone is confident and approachable, balancing industrial heft with soft rounding. It reads as energetic and slightly retro, with a playful, friendly sturdiness that feels at home in bold, attention-seeking settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft-edged, geometric construction—combining a compact, ink-heavy texture with rounded-rectangle forms for a modern-retro display feel.
Because of the tight counters and closed apertures, the face gains impact at large sizes but can feel dense when set in long lines or smaller sizes. The wide, squared punctuation and sturdy verticals reinforce a strong, headline-first personality.
