Sans Superellipse Olbem 9 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Double Porter' by Fenotype, 'FT Graphitum' by Foxys Forest Foundry, 'Miguel De Northern' by Graphicxell, 'Moneer' by Inumocca, and 'Ggx89' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and squared terminals softened by generous corner radii. Strokes are consistently thick with little to no contrast, creating an even, poster-like texture. Counters are tight and often rectangular or superelliptical, while joins and curves stay controlled and geometric. Overall spacing and proportions favor a tall, compressed silhouette that stacks cleanly in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and signage where dense width and strong weight help conserve space while staying highly visible. It also works well for logo wordmarks and brand labels that want a bold, geometric voice with softened edges.
The tone is assertive and practical, with a no-nonsense, workmanlike presence. Its rounded corners keep the voice friendly enough for contemporary branding, but the dense weight and condensed rhythm read as tough, efficient, and slightly athletic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, using rounded-rect geometry to balance toughness with approachability. Its consistent stroke weight and controlled curves aim for clear, repeatable forms that remain cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Curved letters (like C, G, O, S) retain a boxy roundness rather than becoming fully circular, reinforcing the engineered, modular feel. The numerals follow the same compact, softened-rectangular logic, helping mixed alphanumeric settings look consistent.
