Sans Superellipse Ukbij 5 is a very bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Bilokos' by AukimVisuel, 'Morgan Tower' by Feliciano, 'Brookside JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Raviona' by Umka Type, and 'Competition' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction and largely uniform stroke thickness. Curves resolve into superellipse-like corners, keeping bowls and counters rectangular rather than circular, and terminals tend to be flat and decisive. The proportions are tall and compact with tight apertures and small counters that create a dense, vertical rhythm; diagonals are used sparingly and feel engineered rather than calligraphic. Overall spacing and widths vary by glyph, but the silhouette stays consistently narrow and columnar.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable. It can also work for packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style graphics that benefit from an engineered, condensed look, especially when set with generous tracking or at display sizes.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a mechanical, signage-like presence. Its squared geometry and compact counters suggest a techno/industrial mood, while the rounded corners soften the aggression into a controlled, retro-futurist feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rect geometry to create a consistent, industrial voice. The goal seems to be a strong, modern display texture with a controlled, modular feel rather than warm readability for extended text.
Distinctive rectangular counters (notably in letters like O, D, P, and R) and the clipped, cornered joins give the face a stencil-adjacent rigidity without actual breaks. The dense interior spaces and tight apertures make it most comfortable at larger sizes where the shapes can breathe.
