Sans Superellipse Domoy 5 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Gala' by Canada Type, 'Karepe FX' by Differentialtype, 'Ando' and 'Ando Round' by JCFonts, 'Aureola' by OneSevenPointFive, and 'Baucher Gothic' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, compact sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves and terminals resolve into softened corners rather than true circular bowls, giving counters a squarish, superelliptical feel. The fit is tight and vertical, with straight-sided stems and minimal modulation, producing a crisp, uniform rhythm. Apertures are relatively controlled and the overall drawing favors simple, sturdy geometry over calligraphic detail.
This style is well suited to headlines and display typography where a compact, high-impact voice is needed, especially in posters, signage, and packaging. It can also work for branding systems that benefit from a consistent, engineered texture and space-saving letterforms.
The tone is modern and utilitarian, with an industrial neatness that reads confident and efficient. Its narrow, vertical stance suggests signage and engineered labeling, while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space by combining condensed proportions with a uniform, rounded-rect geometry. The consistent stroke weight and softened corners suggest an aim for clear, reproducible shapes across print and screen applications.
Distinctive forms include the squared-off rounds in letters like O/C and the compact, stacked structure of M and W. The numerals echo the same rounded-rect geometry, maintaining consistent texture between text and figures.
