Sans Superellipse Gybel 6 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Forza' by Hoefler & Co., 'Block Capitals' by K-Type, 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans built from squarish, rounded-rectangle forms. Curves resolve into broad-radius corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel (notably in O/0, C, D, and lowercase o). Strokes are monoline and dense, with sturdy verticals, flattened curves, and mostly squared terminals; the overall texture is dark and even. Uppercase shapes are compact and boxy, while lowercase maintains a high x-height with short extenders and tight, rectangular counters; the ‘a’ and ‘g’ are single-storey, and the ‘t’ has a short crossbar. Numerals match the same squared geometry, with a simple, straight ‘1’ and rounded-rectangular ‘0’ and ‘8’ forms.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product/tech packaging, team or event graphics, and bold UI labels. It can also work for wordmarks where a squared, modern silhouette is desired; for extended reading, more generous size and spacing will help maintain clarity.
The font reads as engineered and assertive, with a contemporary, tech-forward tone. Its rounded-square geometry evokes equipment labeling, athletic branding, and digital interfaces—confident and utilitarian rather than friendly or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, contemporary voice through rounded-rectangular geometry and compact internal spaces, balancing hard-edged construction with softened corners for a modern, industrial finish.
Several characters emphasize angular construction (A, K, V, W, X, Y, Z) contrasted against softened corners in rounded letters, creating a controlled, machined rhythm. Apertures and counters are relatively small for the weight, which reinforces impact at display sizes but can make long passages feel dense.
