Sans Superellipse Fedel 1 is a bold, normal width, monoline, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka; 'Carnac' and 'Carnas' by Hoftype; and 'Knul', 'Lintel', and 'Planer' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface shows a strongly slanted sans construction with uniform stroke weight and compact, squared-off proportions softened by rounded corners. Curves tend to resolve into superellipse-like bowls, while straight strokes are slightly tapered by the italic angle, producing a forward-leaning rhythm. Terminals are predominantly blunt and clean, with sharp interior joins in diagonals (notably in K, V, W, X, Y) that read crisp against the otherwise rounded geometry. Counters are fairly tight and the overall silhouette is dense and sturdy, creating a solid texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
It is well suited to sports branding, action-forward identities, and bold headlines where a sense of speed and toughness is desired. The dense, sturdy letterforms also work for posters, labels, and packaging that need strong contrast against backgrounds. In longer passages it will create a very heavy typographic color, so it is best used for short bursts of copy and display-driven layouts.
The overall tone is fast, confident, and modern, with a distinctly athletic or performance-oriented feel. The slant and compact massing convey motion and urgency, while the rounded-rectangle geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. It reads as practical and assertive—built for impact and momentum.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact italic voice: robust enough for branding and signage, while using rounded-rectilinear forms to maintain clarity and a contemporary, engineered look. The consistent stroke weight and controlled apertures suggest an emphasis on repeatable, reliable shapes that hold up under bold, attention-grabbing use.
Figures follow the same compact, slanted logic and appear designed to hold their shape in bold display settings. Spacing looks tuned for headline presence, yielding a dark, cohesive color in lines of text, while the pronounced diagonals and rounded bowls keep the texture lively.
