Sans Superellipse Mefu 6 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Molde' by Letritas, 'Eurostile Next' and 'Eurostile Next Paneuropean' by Linotype, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, 'Amsi Grotesk' by Stawix, and 'Manual' by TypeUnion (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy, oblique sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, creating a solid, poster-like color in text. Counters are relatively small for the weight, while apertures stay fairly open, keeping letters recognizable at larger sizes. Many terminals end in smooth, blunted shapes rather than sharp cuts, and the overall rhythm feels slightly elastic due to differing widths across characters.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, and bold branding systems where the slant and rounded forms can carry personality. It also works well on packaging and promotional graphics that benefit from a lively, retro-sport tone, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is upbeat and confident, with a distinctly sporty, mid-century display feel. Its rounded geometry and slanted stance make it feel fast, friendly, and attention-grabbing rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact footprint, combining a strong oblique gesture with rounded-rectangle letterforms for a distinctive, approachable display voice.
The oblique angle is pronounced and consistent, giving lines of text a strong forward motion. Rounded joins and square-ish curves (especially in bowls and rounded letters) create a cohesive superellipse flavor, while the bold weight favors short headlines over dense body copy.
