Sans Superellipse Pekuv 9 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Magnitudes' by DuoType, 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Mothem' by Gerobuck, and 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, forward-slanted sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Strokes are thick and sturdy with gently softened corners, producing a smooth, molded look rather than a sharp geometric feel. Counters and apertures are relatively tight, and the forms favor broad vertical masses with subtly squared curves (notably in C/G/O and the bowls), creating a dense, poster-ready texture. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, reinforcing a compact, high-impact rhythm; figures are similarly wide-shouldered and simplified for strength and consistency.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent UI or editorial callouts where a compact, high-contrast silhouette can command attention. It also fits sports and event branding, packaging fronts, and logo wordmarks that need a strong, contemporary, rounded-tech voice.
The font reads assertive and athletic, with a fast, forward-leaning momentum and a no-nonsense voice. Its rounded corners keep the tone friendly and approachable despite the weight, landing in a contemporary, action-oriented space that suits bold messaging and high-energy branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited space: a dense, slanted, rounded-rect sans built for immediacy, legibility at large sizes, and an energetic, modern tone.
Diagonal terminals and angled joins amplify the sense of speed, while the rounded-square geometry keeps curves controlled and uniform. At smaller sizes the tight counters may fill in, so it visually prefers display settings where its dense texture and strong silhouette can lead.
