Sans Superellipse Mywa 5 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'FF Clan' by FontFont; 'Larrikin' by HeadFirst; 'Amsi Pro', 'Amsi Pro AKS', and 'Sans Beam' by Stawix; and 'Robusta' by Tilde (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with blunt terminals and slightly irregular edge behavior that reads as intentionally hand-cut rather than mechanically perfect. Counters are small and tightly enclosed, and the overall rhythm is dense, with short extenders and sturdy verticals that keep words looking blocky and cohesive. Numerals follow the same chunky logic, staying wide and stable with simplified interior spaces.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing copy such as posters, headlines, cover titles, packaging, and bold brand marks where a friendly, chunky voice is desired. It can work for brief display text and captions at moderate sizes, but extended reading benefits from extra spacing and restrained use.
The tone is bold and personable, balancing a toy-like softness with poster-grade impact. Its rounded, superellipse-like forms and subtle roughness evoke mid-century display lettering and casual sign paint, giving it an approachable, slightly mischievous character.
This design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with soft, rounded geometry and a lightly handmade finish. The goal is a sturdy display face that stays approachable and fun, combining simplified, superelliptical construction with a compact, punchy texture.
In text, the dark color builds quickly, so generous tracking and line spacing help maintain clarity. The simplified shapes and tight counters favor larger sizes where the internal openings can breathe and the irregularities read as texture rather than noise.
