Sans Superellipse Tidiw 4 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Racon' by Ahmet Altun, 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Mexiland' by Grezline Studio, 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, 'Cartella NF' by Nick's Fonts, and 'Beachwood' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) counters and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and fairly even, but the outlines show purposeful roughness—slight wobble, dents, and irregular edges that read like ink spread or a worn stamp. Proportions lean compact and sturdy with short apertures and generous internal counters on letters like O, P, and B; the lowercase is squat and geometric with a simple, single-storey a and g. Terminals are blunt, diagonals are broad and stable, and the overall rhythm is dense and high-impact.
Best suited to short, high-contrast copy where texture is a feature: posters, bold headlines, logo wordmarks, packaging, labels, and merchandise graphics. It can work for punchy subheads or display text in editorial layouts, but the distressed edges and dense color make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The texture and chunky geometry give a handmade, distressed attitude—part industrial stencil/stamp, part comic and poster-friendly. It feels energetic and informal, with a tough, DIY edge that suggests grit without becoming illegible.
The design appears intended to combine a geometric rounded-rectangle skeleton with a deliberately imperfect, inked edge treatment. The goal is strong presence and quick recognition, delivering a stamped/hand-printed feel while keeping letterforms simple, sturdy, and highly legible for display use.
The roughened perimeter is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping the set feel unified rather than randomly distressed. Round letters tend to resolve into squared forms with rounded corners, while joins and corners remain thick and sturdy, keeping color very dark at text sizes.
