Sans Superellipse Neli 6 is a very bold, wide, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'ALS Ekibastuz' by Art. Lebedev Studio, 'Core Sans N' and 'Core Sans NR' by S-Core, and 'Juhl' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a superellipse/rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and consistent, with softly squared terminals and corners that keep shapes smooth rather than circular. Counters tend to be compact and openings are relatively tight, giving letters a dense, punchy silhouette. The lowercase follows a single-storey approach for a and g, with short ascenders and a robust, squared-off rhythm; numerals are equally stout and rounded, matching the overall blocky geometry.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and short emphatic statements where its mass and rounded geometry can read clearly at larger sizes. It can also work for signage and logo marks that need a friendly, substantial presence, but may feel too dense for long-form text at small sizes.
The overall tone is friendly and upbeat, with a toy-like, poster-ready weight and softened corners that prevent it from feeling aggressive. Its dense shapes and rounded squareness evoke mid-century display lettering and contemporary playful branding, aiming for boldness with approachability.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans built from rounded-rectangle forms, prioritizing bold silhouette, softness, and a cohesive geometric rhythm. It aims to deliver strong emphasis while maintaining a welcoming, playful character for branding and promotional typography.
Wide bowls and rounded-rectangular curves are especially prominent in O/Q/0 and in the shoulders of n/m, creating a consistent soft-block aesthetic. The heavy weight and tight internal spaces suggest it will prefer generous sizing and spacing to keep forms from filling in visually.
