Sans Superellipse Wahy 5 is a very bold, very wide, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Geogrotesque Expanded Series' and 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Eurostile Unicase' by Linotype, and 'Logik' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface uses chunky, geometric construction with rounded-rectangle curves and generously radiused corners. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with compact counters and tight apertures that create a dense, blocky texture in text. Many joins and terminals resolve into soft squares rather than circles, reinforcing a superelliptical, modular feel. The lowercase is built for impact with a large x-height, while numerals and capitals maintain wide, stable silhouettes and a strong horizontal rhythm.
Best suited to big, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging titles, and logo wordmarks where its compact counters and sturdy shapes can read clearly. It also fits tech and gaming interface branding or signage-style applications that benefit from a robust, rounded-industrial aesthetic. For extended text, it performs more comfortably at larger sizes with ample spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and engineered, with a distinctly tech-forward, display-driven voice. Its rounded-square geometry reads contemporary and utilitarian, suggesting machinery, interfaces, and performance branding rather than warmth or tradition.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a streamlined, futuristic geometry: heavy strokes, rounded-square curves, and tight internal spaces that emphasize strength and modernity. Its construction prioritizes a consistent, modular rhythm that looks purposeful in display typography and brand marks.
In paragraph-sized samples, the heavy massing and narrow internal spaces push legibility toward larger sizes; short words and headings feel especially crisp. The design’s consistent corner treatment and squared bowls keep the texture uniform across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
