Sans Superellipse Duluh 5 is a regular weight, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Geogrotesque Expanded Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Tactic Round' and 'Tactic Sans' by Miller Type Foundry, and 'PT Filter' by Paavola Type Studio (names referenced only for comparison).

A crisp sans with squared-off proportions softened by generously rounded corners, giving many curves a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle feel. Strokes are largely monoline with minimal modulation, and counters stay roomy, producing clear, stable silhouettes. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, while joins remain smooth and controlled, creating an even rhythm across text. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with consistent corner radii and straightforward construction.
Well-suited to interface typography, product surfaces, and information design where clean shapes and consistent rhythm support quick scanning. Its rounded-square construction can also work effectively in branding and packaging that aims for a modern, approachable tech aesthetic, and it remains legible for short paragraphs and headings.
The overall tone is contemporary and engineered, balancing a utilitarian clarity with a mild friendliness from the softened corners. It reads as confident and neutral rather than expressive, with a subtle tech/product sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly consistent, contemporary sans that feels systematic and digital-native, while using rounded corners to soften the voice. Its geometry suggests an emphasis on clarity, repeatable shapes, and a distinctive squircle-based identity that stands out without relying on high contrast or ornament.
Round forms (like O, o, and 0) lean toward squircle-like geometry rather than perfect circles, which gives the design a distinctive, systematized texture. Diagonals and curves feel carefully normalized, helping long lines of text maintain a consistent color without looking rigid.
