Sans Superellipse Abbuw 5 is a regular weight, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Black Square' by Agny Hasya Studio, 'Nicomedia' by Artegra, 'Plasma' by Corradine Fonts, 'FF Cube' by FontFont, and 'Celdum' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans built from squared, superellipse-like bowls with softened corners and largely monoline strokes. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes (notably in C, D, O, Q, and 0), while diagonals are straight and crisp, giving letters like A, K, V, W, X, Y a mechanical, engineered feel. Apertures are fairly open, terminals are mostly flat, and the overall rhythm is wide with generous internal counters. The lowercase keeps simple, compact forms; single-storey a and g, a square-ish o, and a descender on y reinforce the modular construction.
Works well for tech-forward branding, UI or device labeling, gaming and sci‑fi themed graphics, and bold headlines where the squared-round geometry can be a central visual motif. It can also serve in short blocks of supporting text when a contemporary, engineered look is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone reads modern and technical, with a controlled, machine-made character that suggests interfaces, hardware labeling, and sci‑fi styling. Rounded corners soften the geometry just enough to feel approachable rather than aggressive, but the overall impression remains precise and functional.
The design appears intended to merge a friendly rounded-rectangle geometry with a crisp, modular construction, creating a contemporary sans that feels both technological and highly systematic. The consistent squared curves and restrained detailing suggest an emphasis on clear reproduction across digital and graphic applications.
Figures are strongly geometric and consistent with the squared-round motif, with a rectangular 0 and a structured 8 made from stacked rounded rectangles. The Q uses an angular tail that adds a distinctive, slightly industrial accent. In text, the uniform stroke and squared bowls create a steady texture that stays legible while retaining a stylized, display-forward personality.
