Sans Superellipse Jefu 9 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bongo' by Bogusky 2, 'Leco 1976' by CarnokyType, 'Barion' by Drizy Font, and 'Jetlab' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-constructed sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal contrast, and many counters are reduced to small square or rectangular apertures, giving a compact, punchy texture. Curves are simplified into superelliptical arcs, while terminals are predominantly flat, producing a modular, near-stencil feel in letters like E, S, and a. Overall spacing appears tight and the letterforms read as squared-off and engineered rather than calligraphic.
Best suited to display applications where impact matters: headlines, posters, product packaging, and branding marks. It also fits UI splash screens, game titles, and event graphics where a retro-industrial or tech-forward impression is desired, especially when set with generous size and spacing.
The tone is bold and mechanical, with a distinctly retro-tech flavor reminiscent of arcade, sci‑fi, and industrial labeling. Its chunky shapes and small cut-in counters create an assertive, slightly playful voice that feels attention-seeking and graphic rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangular, modular construction into a highly legible display face with strong silhouette and uniform weight. Its compact counters and repeated geometric cuts suggest an aim for a distinctive, machine-made aesthetic that stays consistent across letters and numerals.
Because the inner openings are small and the forms are dense, readability is strongest at larger sizes; in smaller text the counters and notches may close in visually. The font’s rhythm relies on repeated rectangular motifs, which creates strong consistency across both uppercase and lowercase.
