Sans Superellipse Mamar 6 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Blacky' by Afdalul Zikri, 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'Albireo' and 'Albireo Soft' by Cory Maylett Design, 'Boldine' by Fateh.Lab, 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, and 'Amsi Grotesk' by Stawix (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are monoline and dense, with soft terminals and generous corner radii that create a smooth, molded silhouette. Counters are small and often more rectangular than circular, and the overall spacing feels tight, emphasizing a solid, blocky texture. Letterforms show simplified geometry (notably in bowls and shoulders), with a single-storey “a” and “g,” short joins, and minimal internal detailing, keeping the rhythm consistent and bold on the page.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, packaging, and short-brand statements where a rounded, high-impact voice is needed. It also works well for playful signage and logo wordmarks, especially when the design calls for a compact, chunky sans that stays readable from a distance.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, leaning toward a mid-century display sensibility with a cartoonish warmth. Its inflated, rubbery shapes feel friendly rather than technical, giving headlines a loud, cheerful presence and a slightly nostalgic flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with soft-edged geometry, combining compact proportions with rounded, superelliptical forms to create a friendly display voice. It prioritizes strong silhouette and consistent rhythm over fine detail, aiming for confident legibility and a fun, approachable character.
The numerals share the same softened, superelliptical logic, reading clearly at display sizes while maintaining the font’s compact mass. The overall color is very dark and even, so small sizes may close up in tight counters; it performs best when allowed a bit of breathing room in tracking and line spacing.
