Sans Superellipse Ikdur 5 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Tusker Grotesk' by Lewis McGuffie Type, 'Sztos' by Machalski, 'Blunt' by Miller Type Foundry, 'Cimo' by Monotype, and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing compact counters and sturdy, high-impact silhouettes. Curves tend to resolve into squared, superellipse-like bowls (notably in O/C/G and the numerals), while joins and terminals stay blunt and direct. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with short extenders and a dense, poster-ready texture in continuous text.
Best suited to display settings where maximum punch and legibility at a distance matter: headlines, posters, sports/event graphics, bold packaging, and straightforward signage. It can work for short subheads or labels, but dense paragraphs will feel heavy and compact due to the tight internal spaces.
The font reads loud and no-nonsense, projecting strength and immediacy. Its rounded-square geometry adds a contemporary, engineered feel that can come across as sporty or industrial rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact voice using rounded-square geometry and uniform weight, prioritizing strong silhouettes and consistent texture across letters and figures.
Uppercase forms are especially monolithic and signage-like, while lowercase keeps the same chunky logic with simplified details. Numerals are wide and stable, with enclosed shapes staying small and dark at text sizes; the design favors impact over openness. The punctuation shown (period, apostrophe) is bold and squarely integrated with the overall weight.
