Sans Superellipse Ibbih 5 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Antry Sans' by Mans Greback, 'MC Goshco' by Maulana Creative, 'Fact' by ParaType, 'Picador Sans' by Picador, and 'Sans Beam' by Stawix (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly blunted corners throughout. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing dense, dark letterforms with tight internal counters and minimal modulation. Curves are broad and superelliptical, while joints and terminals feel gently squared rather than sharply cut, giving the design a sturdy, molded look. The lowercase keeps simple, single-storey shapes (notably a and g) and short extenders, reinforcing an overall condensed, poster-ready rhythm.
Best suited to large-scale display work where its dense weight and compact width can deliver impact—headlines, posters, signage, and packaging. It also fits branding marks and product wordmarks that benefit from a friendly, athletic, highly legible block-sans voice.
The tone is bold and approachable, balancing toughness with soft, rounded edges. It reads as upbeat and slightly retro, with a big, confident presence that feels at home in energetic, consumer-facing design.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact in a narrow footprint while staying approachable through rounded geometry. Its consistent, low-modulation strokes and superelliptical forms suggest a focus on bold clarity and a contemporary-retro display personality.
The narrow proportions and thick strokes create strong word shapes but can close up counters at smaller sizes, especially in letters like e, a, and s. Numerals share the same compact, rounded-square logic, making them visually consistent for headlines and short numeric callouts.
