Sans Superellipse Suhy 1 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Frileder' by Gatype, 'Heroxy' by Kulokale, 'Fixture' by Sudtipos, 'Beachwood' by Swell Type, and 'Queency' by Vampstudio (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with a strong rightward slant and a distinctly squared-off, rounded-corner construction. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and counters, while terminals are clipped and angled, producing a carved, machined feel. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with short apertures and sturdy joins that keep shapes dense and high-impact. Numerals and capitals share the same blocky geometry, maintaining consistent weight and a forward-leaning stance across the set.
Best suited to large sizes where its dense forms and angled cuts can deliver maximum punch—headlines, posters, and title treatments in print or on screen. It also fits sports and motorsport branding, product packaging, and logo wordmarks that need a compact, high-energy presence. For extended reading, it works more reliably as short bursts of copy rather than body text.
The overall tone is fast, forceful, and utilitarian, with a sporty, headline-driven energy. Its oblique posture and cut terminals suggest motion and impact, while the softened corners keep it from feeling brittle or overly harsh. The style reads as retro-futurist and industrial, suited to bold, confident messaging.
The design appears intended to combine condensed, space-efficient proportions with a high-impact display voice. Its superelliptical rounding and clipped terminals aim to balance toughness and modernity while emphasizing speed and momentum in branding and titling contexts.
The italic angle is pronounced, and many strokes end in wedge-like cuts that enhance the sense of speed. Counters tend to be compact, so the face looks most comfortable when given breathing room through tracking and line spacing, especially in longer lines of text.
