Sans Superellipse Agmad 4 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Geogrotesque Condensed Series' by Emtype Foundry, 'Frontage Condensed' by Juri Zaech, 'Shilia' by Linotype, and 'Atrament' by Suitcase Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed sans with rounded-rectangle geometry throughout, mixing straight verticals with softly radiused corners. Curves are built from superelliptic bowls rather than true circles, giving counters a squared, engineered look. Strokes remain consistent with minimal modulation, terminals are mostly blunt, and the overall rhythm is tight and vertical, producing a dense, efficient texture in text.
Works well for headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where space is limited but strong emphasis is needed. It also fits wayfinding, editorial display, app or product UI accents, and data-heavy layouts that benefit from a condensed, orderly texture. Best used at display sizes or short-to-medium text where its dense vertical rhythm can be an advantage.
This font conveys a utilitarian, industrial tone with a slightly retro, signage-like feel. Its compact stance and firm stroke weight read as confident and no-nonsense, leaning more mechanical than friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using sturdy strokes and squared-off round forms to stay legible and consistent. The superellipse construction suggests an aim for a controlled, engineered personality that remains clear in all-caps display and compact line settings.
Many letters show tall proportions with tight apertures and squared bowls, producing a distinctive ‘rounded-rect’ silhouette. Numerals match the same condensed, sturdy construction, supporting a cohesive typographic system feel across alphanumerics.
