Sans Superellipse Kyraf 1 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Eurostile Next' and 'Eurostile Next Paneuropean' by Linotype, 'Gunterz' by Locomotype, 'Tactic Round' and 'Tactic Sans' by Miller Type Foundry, 'PT Filter' by Paavola Type Studio, 'Hype vol 3' by Positype, and 'NeoGram' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, forward-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle construction and generously softened corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, with broad, squared counters in letters like O and D and a generally compact, low-aperture feel in forms such as C, S, and G. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the geometry emphasizes superelliptical curves and flattened bowls rather than fully circular shapes. Numerals follow the same boxy, rounded logic, reading as sturdy and mechanical with consistent weight and tight interior spaces.
Well-suited to bold headlines, logotypes, sports and esports identities, and high-impact promotional work where a dynamic slant helps convey motion. It can also serve in UI labels, product names, and packaging where a robust, engineered look is desired, particularly at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is fast, tough, and contemporary, with a clear motorsport/athletic energy. Its oblique slant and squared, softened geometry give it a streamlined, engineered character that feels confident and performance-oriented rather than friendly or delicate.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact and speed: a strong oblique stance paired with rounded-rectangular geometry for a modern, technical voice. The consistent stroke weight and softened corners suggest an intention to feel both powerful and polished, maintaining legibility through clear, simplified shapes.
The design relies on strong silhouettes and consistent corner radii, which keeps long lines visually unified. Because counters are relatively tight and apertures are restrained, it reads best when given room through sizing and spacing, especially in dense paragraphs.
