Sans Superellipse Gymaw 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Celdum' and 'Metral' by The Northern Block, 'Kongress' by Tipo Pèpel, and 'Ranelte' by insigne (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with compact apertures and counters that keep the silhouettes tight and punchy. Curved forms (C, O, G, S, 0) read as squarish superellipse shapes rather than true circles, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are broad and stable with minimal finesse. Terminals are generally blunt and slightly radiused, producing a consistent, engineered rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display roles where strong silhouettes matter: headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that need weight and immediacy. It also works well for signage and UI headings where a compact, high-impact look is desirable, especially when set with generous tracking or ample whitespace.
The overall tone is bold and confident, combining a utilitarian, industrial feel with approachable rounded edges. It suggests contemporary tech and product branding, with a sporty, badge-like energy that stays readable and grounded rather than playful or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a geometric, rounded-rectangle voice—prioritizing sturdy shapes, clear structure, and a contemporary industrial aesthetic. The softened corners temper the heaviness, aiming for a modern, approachable bold sans that remains consistent across letters and numerals.
Lowercase forms keep a simplified, sturdy construction with short or closed apertures (notably in e, a, s), and the numerals follow the same squarish curvature, giving dashboards or headlines a cohesive, system-like appearance. The punctuation and spacing in the sample text support a compact, impactful texture suited to large sizes.
