Sans Superellipse Ibgep 4 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Rama Gothic' by Dharma Type, 'ED Aughris' by Emyself Design, 'Beni' by Nois, 'Fixture' by Sudtipos, 'Palo' by TypeUnion, and 'Heading Now' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and broad, rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes are consistently thick with moderately tight counters, producing a dense, poster-like color. Many joins and terminals show purposeful vertical notches and wedge cuts that create an intermittently split, stencil-like rhythm, especially visible in diagonals and interior joins. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q, S) are built from squared-off bowls with softened corners, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, I, N) stay rigid and architectural. Numerals follow the same chunky, condensed construction, with strong vertical emphasis and simplified internal spaces.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, display copy, and logo-style wordmarks where its dense weight and distinctive cuts can be appreciated. It also fits packaging, event posters, and signage that benefits from compact width and strong vertical presence.
The overall tone is bold and insistent, with a rugged, mechanical edge. The intermittent cuts and compressed width add a sense of urgency and toughness, evoking posters, industrial labeling, and headline typography with a retro-commercial feel.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while adding a recognizable, industrial texture through repeated notch-like cutouts. Its superellipse-inspired bowls and squared geometry aim for a contemporary-blocky silhouette with a vintage display sensibility.
The design’s defining feature is the recurring notch/split motif, which adds texture without fully breaking letter continuity. At larger sizes the cut details read as intentional styling; at smaller sizes they may visually close up in tight counters, so spacing and size choices will strongly influence clarity.
