Sans Superellipse Gygul 4 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Expedition' by Aerotype, 'Arame' by DMTR.ORG, and 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with a rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Corners are broadly radiused and curves tend toward superelliptical bowls rather than true circles, producing a soft but blocky silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast; terminals are clean and mostly flat, and counters are compact and rectilinear with rounded inner corners. The overall rhythm is tight and sturdy, with wide, stable horizontals and generous corner rounding that keeps the texture smooth even at large sizes.
Best suited to display settings where its chunky geometry can be appreciated: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and bold wayfinding or UI labeling. It can also work for short blocks of text in large sizes, where the tight counters and strong shapes remain clear and intentional.
The tone reads as futuristic and engineered—like interface lettering or sci‑fi titling—while the softened corners add an approachable, game-like friendliness. Its strong, chunky shapes project confidence and impact, and the modular geometry suggests modern hardware, robotics, and digital products.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, superelliptical look with maximum presence and a smooth, rounded-square personality. It prioritizes bold legibility and a cohesive modular system over traditional proportions, aiming for a contemporary tech and entertainment aesthetic.
The face relies on squared forms with softened edges, giving letters a distinctive “capsule” feel. Round letters (like O/C/G) appear more like rounded squares, and the compact apertures and counters create a dense, high-contrast texture against the page.
