Sans Superellipse Olboz 1 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hilumion Sans' by Brainwaves Studio, 'Conthey' and 'Conthey Inline' by ROHH, and 'Aptly' by Shinntype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy condensed display sans with squared, rounded-rectangle construction and consistent stroke thickness. Curves are built from broad superellipse-like bowls, while many joins and terminals are finished with sharp, chiseled cuts or notches that create a rhythmic, faceted silhouette. Counters are compact and often vertically oriented, giving the letters a tall, tightly packed feel, and the overall spacing reads deliberate and poster-like rather than texty. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, with simplified forms and strong vertical presence.
Best suited to short-form display settings where strong vertical rhythm and compact width are advantages—posters, bold headlines, logos, labels, and packaging. It can also work for signage and merch where the carved details remain visible, but it is less appropriate for long reading at small sizes.
The design feels bold and mechanical with a hint of retro novelty. Its mix of soft-rounded geometry and knife-cut detailing evokes industrial signage and classic display lettering, projecting confidence and a slightly playful toughness.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact in tight horizontal space while retaining a distinctive, carved geometric identity. The consistent thickness and rounded-rectangle skeleton suggest an intention toward easy recognition and strong graphic presence, with notched cuts added to differentiate the voice from a purely geometric condensed sans.
Several glyphs show distinctive wedge-like cuts on diagonals and at stroke ends, producing a consistent “carved” motif across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase maintains sturdy, simplified shapes that prioritize impact and uniform color over delicate differentiation, reinforcing a headline-first personality.
