Sans Superellipse Jibeb 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Double Back' and 'Elephantmen' by Comicraft, 'EFCO Colburn' by Ilham Herry, 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, and 'CFB1 American Patriot' by The Fontry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-driven sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and softly radiused corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and counters tend toward squarish, rounded openings that keep forms compact and dense. Many letters show small carved-in notches and angled cuts at joins and terminals, giving the outlines a machined, slightly stenciled feel without breaking continuity. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with a single-storey a and g, a compact e, and short, straight-leaning terminals that preserve a tight, uniform texture in text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logotypes, labels, and sports or esports-style graphics. It also works well for UI or wayfinding accents where a compact, robust voice and quick recognition are more important than airy readability.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial, team-graphics energy. Rounded corners soften the mass, while the notched details add a purposeful, engineered edge that reads as sporty and mildly retro-futuristic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and clarity through simplified, geometric forms, then add character via subtle notches and angled cuts. The result is a contemporary display sans that balances friendly rounded geometry with a tough, mechanical finish.
The font’s dense silhouettes and squared counters create strong word shapes at display sizes, while the distinctive cut-ins help differentiate similar forms (notably in the uppercase). Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry for a cohesive, sign-like presence.
