Sans Superellipse Ibrez 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bourgeois' and 'Bourgeois Rounded' by Barnbrook Fonts, 'Rigid Square' by Dharma Type, and 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-oriented sans with superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, and corners are consistently softened rather than fully circular. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, producing dense silhouettes and strong ink traps-free joins. The geometry favors squared shoulders and flat terminals, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y) are clean and sharply cut, adding punch to an otherwise rounded system. Counters are relatively tight and rectangular, giving the face a compact, space-efficient texture at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-visibility text such as headlines, posters, logos, and packaging where its mass and compact shapes can carry impact. It also fits sporty or tech-forward identity systems and signage-style applications that benefit from sturdy, highly legible forms at larger sizes.
The overall tone is confident and high-impact, balancing a tough, industrial voice with approachable rounded edges. It evokes athletic and tech branding—modern, direct, and a little retro in its chunky, squared-off rhythm.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual strength with a cohesive rounded-rectangle theme, pairing bold presence with softened corners for approachability. The intent appears to be a modern display workhorse that feels engineered and consistent across letters and numerals.
Distinctive rounded-rectangle forms in O/Q/0 and the squared apertures in letters like C/S help maintain clarity and consistency across the set. Numerals share the same compact, squared geometry, supporting uniform color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
