Sans Superellipse Gikeb 12 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY' by Andrew Footit, 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, 'Forgotten Futurist' by Typodermic, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves resolve into squared bowls and superellipse-like shapes, giving letters a geometric, machined feel rather than a purely circular one. Strokes are broadly uniform with tight inner counters, and joins stay crisp; terminals are mostly flat and vertical/horizontal. Uppercase forms are compact and wide-shouldered, while lowercase keeps a simple, built-from-blocks structure (single-story a and g, squarish o), maintaining consistent texture and strong silhouette at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and branding where a strong, compact voice is needed. It also fits sports and gaming identities, product packaging, and environmental or wayfinding-style graphics that benefit from sturdy, geometric letterforms.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial and sporty energy. Its rounded-square geometry reads modern and engineered, suggesting toughness and impact rather than warmth or elegance.
The font appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a unified rounded-rectangular geometry, creating a modern, engineered look that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
The design favors clear, high-impact shapes with relatively small apertures and counters, which reinforces solidity but can feel dense in longer text. Numerals follow the same squared, rounded-rectangle logic, producing a cohesive, sign-ready set.
