Sans Superellipse Ragob 1 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Coign' by Colophon Foundry, 'Resolve Sans' by Fenotype, 'Compressed Jam' by JAM Type Design, and 'Aeternus' by Unio Creative Solutions (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, tightly set sans with compact proportions and a strongly vertical stance. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal modulation, and curves resolve into squarish, superellipse-like bowls that read rounded yet firm rather than soft. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared off, giving counters a narrow, slit-like feel in letters such as E, F, and S. The overall rhythm is compressed and columnar, with straightforward geometry and restrained detailing across both cases and figures.
Works best in display settings where a dense, high-impact line can carry a message quickly—headlines, posters, and compact branding lockups. Its narrow footprint is useful when space is limited, such as packaging panels, labels, and wayfinding or environmental graphics. For body copy, it will be more effective in brief, high-contrast applications rather than extended passages.
The font conveys an assertive, functional tone—more industrial and infrastructural than friendly. Its condensed build and sturdy stroke weight create a sense of urgency and efficiency, suitable for messages that need to feel direct and no-nonsense. The squared curves add a subtle technical flavor that keeps it contemporary and slightly mechanical.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact and space efficiency while keeping a clean, contemporary sans structure. By combining tall proportions with squared-round curves and blunt terminals, it aims for a technical, industrial voice that remains legible and consistent across letters and numerals.
Round letters like O and Q are notably narrow with compact inner counters, and the lowercase shows simple, engineered forms with short ascenders and descenders relative to the tall caps. Numerals follow the same narrow, vertical logic, maintaining consistent density and a cohesive texture in text lines. In longer samples, the condensed spacing creates a strong vertical pattern that favors short bursts of text over relaxed reading.
