Sans Superellipse Jiliw 13 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Expedition' by Aerotype and 'Stallman' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).

A chunky geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms and squared curves, with consistent stroke weight and soft corner radii. Counters are predominantly rectangular and tightly proportioned, producing compact apertures and a dense, high-contrast texture at text sizes. Joins and terminals favor crisp orthogonal construction, with occasional chamfered/angled cuts (notably in diagonals and junctions) that add a slightly mechanical, modular feel. Uppercase and lowercase share a strongly unified system, and the numerals echo the same boxy, superelliptical geometry for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display use where its bold, blocky construction can set a strong visual voice—headlines, posters, logotypes, product branding, and packaging. It can also work for short UI labels, game or sci‑fi themed interfaces, and signage where a compact, high-impact word shape is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and synthetic—evoking digital interfaces, arcade-era display lettering, and industrial labeling. Its squared-round silhouette reads modern and engineered, projecting a no-nonsense, tech-forward personality with a touch of retro-futurism.
The design appears intended to translate superelliptical, rounded-rectangle geometry into a sturdy, contemporary display sans that remains consistent across cases and figures. By combining softened corners with strict orthogonal structure and selective angled cuts, it aims to balance friendliness with a precise, engineered character.
Several shapes lean toward closed, blocky interiors (e.g., in forms like a/e/s), which emphasizes solidity but can reduce differentiation in long passages. Distinctive angular treatments in letters such as K, R, and X introduce energy and help break up the otherwise rectilinear rhythm.
