Sans Superellipse Jiros 5 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Amboy' by Parkinson, 'Block' by Stefan Stoychev, and 'Huberica' by The Native Saint Club (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle forms with consistently softened corners and uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are compact and squarish, with wide, flat terminals and generally closed, rectangular counters (notably in O, D, P, and 8). Curves are minimal and tend to resolve into superelliptical bowls; diagonals appear primarily in K, N, V, W, X, and Z with a sturdy, cut-from-blocks feel. Spacing reads tight and efficient, producing dense word shapes and strong horizontal rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, titles, and branding where strong presence and geometric personality are desired. It can work for short UI labels, product markings, packaging, and esports/arcade-inspired graphics when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a distinctly retro-tech character, reminiscent of arcade, sci‑fi, and industrial labeling aesthetics. Its rounded corners keep the mood friendly and approachable despite the heavyweight, highly geometric construction.
The font appears intended to deliver a bold, modular display voice using rounded-rect geometry for maximum impact and consistency across letters and numbers, prioritizing graphic punch and a distinctive retro-tech silhouette over conventional text readability.
The design favors squareness and internal cutouts over open apertures, which increases visual impact at display sizes but can make small-size text feel dark and compact. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, giving figures a cohesive, scoreboard-like presence.
