Sans Superellipse Gilus 6 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Compasse' by Dharma Type, 'Cralter' by Edignwn Type, 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, and 'MVB Embarcadero' by MVB (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and assertive, with squared-off terminals and broad, stable horizontals that create a dense texture in words. Curves tend toward superelliptic shapes rather than pure circles, producing boxy bowls and counters (notably in C, G, O, e, and 0). Diagonals are sturdy and slightly sheared in feel, while apertures stay relatively tight, reinforcing the solid, sign-like silhouette.
This font is well-suited to short-to-medium display settings where impact and durability matter—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging panels, and environmental or wayfinding-style signage. It holds up well at large sizes where its rounded-rect geometry and tight apertures become a distinctive voice.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a sporty, industrial confidence. Its rounded corners add approachability, but the squared geometry keeps it feeling technical and modern rather than friendly or whimsical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and clarity through a geometric, rounded-rect framework—combining the rugged presence of a block sans with softened corners for a more contemporary, product-forward feel.
Uppercase forms read particularly block-forward and uniform, while lowercase maintains the same geometric logic with compact joins and short extenders. Numerals match the alphabet’s squared curvature and weight, giving figures a strong, display-oriented presence.
