Sans Superellipse Etnem 1 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Korolev' by Device, 'Gotham' by Hoefler & Co., 'Final Edition JNL' and 'Recording Artist JNL' by Jeff Levine, and 'Fact' by ParaType (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, forward-slanted sans with heavy, uniform strokes and tightly packed proportions. Curves and counters lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and terminals a compact, slightly squared-off feel rather than purely circular forms. The overall rhythm is brisk and vertical, with short apertures, sturdy joins, and a consistent, low-contrast texture that holds together well at display sizes. Figures match the condensed, punchy build and sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits sports and motorsport-style branding, energetic packaging, and short-form interface or signage moments where condensed width and strong presence help maximize emphasis in limited space.
The font projects speed and force, with a confident, performance-oriented tone. Its slanted stance and compact shapes evoke athletic branding and action-forward messaging, while the rounded-rectangle construction adds a controlled, engineered feel rather than a casual one.
Likely designed to deliver maximum punch in a narrow footprint, combining a forward-leaning stance with compact, rounded-rectangle letterforms for a fast, modern display voice. The consistent stroke weight and controlled geometry suggest an intention to stay bold and legible while conveying motion and urgency.
The design’s tight spacing and dense color create strong headline impact but can feel intense in long passages, especially at smaller sizes. Distinctive, compact counters and angled strokes emphasize momentum and help the face maintain a coherent silhouette across mixed-case settings.
