Sans Superellipse Uklih 5 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut and 'Augment', 'Blanco', 'Graund', and 'Ravane' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with a modular, rounded-rectangle construction that keeps curves tightly controlled and corners softened. Strokes are consistently thick with small interior counters and frequent squared terminals, creating a strong vertical rhythm. Many forms show deliberate angular cut-ins and notch-like joins, giving letters a chiseled, engineered feel rather than a purely geometric one. Overall spacing and proportions favor tall, compressed silhouettes, and the numerals follow the same robust, block-first logic.
Best suited for display use where its dense weight and condensed build can create strong visual punch—headlines, posters, album/film titling, and bold branding marks. It can also work for packaging and labels that need an industrial or tech-forward mood. For longer passages, it performs most reliably at larger sizes where the narrow counters and carved joins remain legible.
The font projects a tough, machine-made attitude with a distinctly retro-tech flavor. Its dense black texture and carved details feel industrial and cinematic, suggesting machinery, sci‑fi interfaces, or dystopian poster typography. The overall tone is confident and forceful, optimized for impact rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a compressed, block-based silhouette, while differentiating itself with engineered notches and rounded-rectangle geometry. It aims for a stylized, mechanical voice that stays consistent across letters and numerals, prioritizing a strong, unmistakable texture in display settings.
The uppercase reads especially rigid and architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same construction, keeping text color uniform in longer settings. Counters are often narrow and rectangular, and the repeated notch motif adds character but can reduce clarity at small sizes. The design’s emphasis on verticals and compact widths produces a tight, commanding word shape in headlines.
