Sans Superellipse Tekiv 6 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Tungsten' by Hoefler & Co., 'Athletic Pro' by Mandarin, 'Hype vol 3' by Positype, and 'Heading Now' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with stencil-like construction: many glyphs are interrupted by narrow vertical gaps that read as cutouts, especially in bowls and counters. Strokes are broadly even in weight with squared, rounded-rectangle contours and mostly blunt terminals. Edges show slight irregularity and texture, giving the black shapes a worn, inked impression rather than a perfectly machined outline. Counters are tight and apertures are generally narrow, producing compact, high-impact word shapes with assertive vertical rhythm.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and bold display settings where the stencil interruptions become a defining graphic feature. It also fits packaging, labels, and wayfinding or safety-style signage that benefits from a tough, industrial voice. Use with generous tracking and sufficient size when maximum legibility is required.
The overall tone is utilitarian and industrial, evoking labeling, equipment marking, and signage where quick recognition and tough presence matter more than refinement. The stencil breaks add a tactical, procedural feel—suggesting crates, tools, military or workshop environments—while the heavy mass keeps the voice emphatic and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, forceful display sans with a stencil-coded identity, combining rounded-rect geometry with deliberate internal breaks and slight roughness to signal durability and function.
Round letters (like O, C, G) resolve as squarish superellipse forms, which reinforces a modular, engineered look. The texture and cut gaps can create lively patterning in headlines, but the interruptions may reduce clarity at smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs.
