Sans Superellipse Simaj 10 is a very bold, very narrow, high contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Churchward Heading' by BluHead Studio and 'Peristyle', 'Sagittarius', and 'Tungsten' by Hoefler & Co. (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, vertically emphasized sans with rectangular/superelliptical bowls and tightly controlled sidebearings. Strokes are heavy and decisive, with pronounced modulation that creates a crisp, engraved-like contrast in joins and terminals. Curves are squared-off and rounded at the corners, giving counters a rounded-rectangle feel (notably in O, Q, and the lowercase o). The overall rhythm is rigid and columnar, with tall ascenders/descenders and a strong, even baseline presence; apertures tend toward closed or tightly pinched, boosting density at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where its compressed width and dense color can work as a visual hook—posters, editorial titling, event graphics, product packaging, and assertive brand marks. It can also perform well in short, punchy UI labels or signage where space is tight and emphasis is desired, but it’s less ideal for extended body copy due to its tight apertures and heavy visual density.
The font conveys a bold, no-nonsense tone—part industrial signage, part retro headline. Its compressed silhouette and sharp internal contrasts create a sense of urgency and impact, reading as assertive, theatrical, and slightly mechanical.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space, pairing geometric, rounded-rect forms with strong contrast to create a distinctive, high-energy headline voice. The consistent superelliptical construction suggests an aim for a modern, engineered feel while keeping a hint of vintage poster drama.
Several glyphs show distinctive pinch points and narrow joins (e.g., S, a, e) that heighten the high-impact look but can darken quickly in long text. Numerals follow the same condensed, squared-curve logic, with strong vertical stress and compact counters, reinforcing a cohesive headline system.
