Sans Superellipse Sokav 12 is a very bold, normal width, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Imago W1G' by Berthold, 'Cynosure' and 'Cynosure Soft' by Device, 'Khaisong' by Jipatype, 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski, and 'Kairos Sans' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with softly squared curves and broadly rounded corners that give counters a superellipse feel. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and sturdy joins that keep shapes compact and punchy. Terminals are mostly flat and cut cleanly; curves are tightened into rounded-rectangle forms (notably in C, G, O, and S), while diagonals (A, V, W, X) feel wide and stable. Numerals are large and dense with simplified geometry, emphasizing strong silhouettes over fine detail.
Best suited to large sizes where its compact shapes and rounded-square curves can deliver maximum impact—headlines, posters, bold brand wordmarks, packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can work for short UI labels or callouts when a strong, high-visibility tone is needed, but its density favors display use over long reading.
The overall tone is forceful and direct, projecting confidence and impact. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly, modern edge to an otherwise tough, utilitarian voice, reading as energetic and contemporary rather than delicate or formal.
Designed to provide a high-impact, contemporary sans voice with softened geometry: strong, compact letterforms for visibility, paired with rounded-square curves to keep the tone approachable and cohesive across letters and numerals.
Lowercase forms are simple and robust, with single-story shapes where applicable and short, sturdy shoulders that maintain an even color in text. Apertures are moderately open for a heavy style, helping letters like e and c remain recognizable, while the compact curves in s and a emphasize a bold, poster-ready texture.
