Sans Superellipse Ubdib 5 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Myriad' by Adobe; 'Belle Sans' by Park Street Studio; and 'Amsi Pro', 'Amsi Pro AKS', and 'Sans Beam' by Stawix (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with compact proportions and squared, rounded-rectangle construction in the curves. Strokes stay broadly even, with tight apertures and small counters that create a dense, poster-ready texture. Terminals are mostly blunt and straight, while corners soften into subtle radiused joins that keep the forms from feeling sharp. The overall rhythm is vertical and efficient, with tall capitals and short extenders, and a slightly engineered feel where curves are constrained into superelliptical shapes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, labels, and signage where a compact, emphatic voice is needed. It can also work for short callouts and captions in layouts that benefit from a dense, space-saving width, but will be less comfortable for long reading at small sizes due to the tight counters and heavy texture.
The tone is tough and workmanlike, leaning toward industrial and athletic signwork rather than refined editorial typography. Its compressed width and dark color give it a confident, no-nonsense presence with a touch of vintage display energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangle curves and sturdy construction for a modern, engineered display voice. It balances hard geometry with softened corners to stay approachable while maintaining a strong, utilitarian presence.
In text, spacing reads relatively tight, reinforcing a solid “block” of color. Distinctions in forms (like the angular diagonals and compact bowls) prioritize impact over openness, so the font’s personality comes through most clearly at larger sizes.
