Sans Superellipse Tysy 7 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Akkordeon' by Emtype Foundry, 'Sansmatica' by Fontop, 'Etrusco Now' by Italiantype, and 'Lektorat' by TypeTogether (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with tall proportions and compact counters. Strokes are largely monolinear, with squared-off terminals and subtly notched joins that create a rugged, slightly eroded edge. Curves read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than true circles, giving letters like O, C, and G a superelliptical, compressed feel. Spacing is tight and rhythm is strongly vertical, with narrow apertures and short arms on characters like E and F, producing a dense, columnar texture in text.
Best suited to display roles where compact width and strong presence are needed, such as posters, headlines, labels, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for punchy branding and packaging that benefits from a dense, vertical typographic texture.
The overall tone is bold and workmanlike, leaning industrial and no-nonsense. The small irregularities and notched details add grit and urgency, making it feel more like signage or stamped lettering than a pristine corporate sans.
The design appears aimed at maximizing impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining clear, sturdy shapes. The rounded-rectangle geometry and slightly distressed, notched detailing suggest an intention to evoke utilitarian signage and print-worn character rather than smooth neutrality.
Uppercase and lowercase share a similarly narrow, tall structure, helping headlines stay compact. Numerals match the same condensed stance and sturdy weight, supporting consistent color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
