Sans Superellipse Gidis 13 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Midfield' by Kreuk Type Foundry, 'Sicret' and 'Sicret Mono' by Mans Greback, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Grid Hero' by PizzaDude.dk (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms. Strokes are uniform and dense, with large, cushioned corners and squared-off curves that keep counters tight and rectilinear. The letterforms favor straight verticals and horizontal terminals, with minimal modulation and mostly enclosed apertures, producing a sturdy, grid-like rhythm. Round characters (O, Q, 0) read as squarish ovals with soft corners; interior shapes are similarly boxy, reinforcing a consistent, engineered texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display sizes where its dense geometry and squared-round details can read clearly—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, UI titles, and gaming/tech-themed graphics. It will also work well for short labels and badges where a compact, high-impact presence is desired.
The overall tone is bold, assertive, and machine-made, with a distinctly techno/industrial flavor. Its rounded corners soften the mass just enough to feel approachable, while the compact geometry keeps it energetic and sporty with a retro-futurist edge.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal width using a consistent rounded-rectilinear construction. The intention seems to be a modern, engineered look that balances hardness (blocky structure) with friendliness (soft corners) for attention-grabbing display typography.
The design relies on tight counters and short joins, so spacing and negative space feel intentionally economical. Lowercase forms echo the uppercase construction, creating a unified, display-forward voice rather than a texty one.
