Sans Superellipse Keba 12 is a very bold, wide, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Black Square' and 'Kabyta' by Agny Hasya Studio, 'Phatthana' by Jipatype, and 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and squared-off curves that read as superelliptic. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and blunt, often finished with softened corners rather than sharp points. The letterforms are horizontally expansive, with compact counters and tight internal openings that create a dense, punchy texture. Diagonals and angled joins are prominent, giving many shapes a chamfered, engineered feel, while rounded corners keep the overall silhouette smooth and controlled.
Best suited for display applications where impact and momentum matter: sports identities, automotive or tech-themed branding, posters, packaging callouts, and bold UI headings. It can also work for wordmarks and short taglines where the distinctive rounded-rect geometry remains legible and the oblique angle adds energy.
The font projects speed and impact—energetic, sporty, and slightly industrial. Its slanted stance and blocky, rounded geometry suggest motion, performance, and contemporary tech branding rather than quiet neutrality. The overall tone is confident and attention-seeking, suited to high-contrast messaging and bold statements.
Designed to deliver a fast, powerful voice through heavy strokes, wide proportions, and a consistent rounded-rectangle skeleton. The intent appears to be a contemporary, performance-oriented display sans that stays clean and geometric while maintaining a strong, compact presence in both caps and mixed-case settings.
The uppercase and numerals emphasize broad, squared bowls and rounded corners, producing a sturdy, display-forward rhythm. In running text, the dense counters and strong slant create a forward-driving texture that favors short bursts of copy over extended reading at small sizes.
