Sans Superellipse Tuni 1 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Etrusco Now' by Italiantype, 'Poster Sans' by K-Type, 'Neue Plak' and 'Neue Plak Display' by Monotype, and 'Lektorat' by TypeTogether (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed, heavy sans with squared, superelliptical curves and a compact footprint. Strokes are mostly monoline with minimal modulation, producing dense vertical rhythm and strong color in text. Edges show deliberate roughness—slight notches, wobble, and ink-trap-like bites—giving the outlines a distressed, stamped feel while keeping counters relatively open for the width. The proportions emphasize tall lowercase with short extenders and narrow apertures, and the numerals match the same compressed, blocky construction.
Best suited for display settings where compact width and high impact matter: posters, headlines, labels, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short subheads or pull quotes when you want a condensed industrial voice, but the textured edges may feel busy for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font conveys a utilitarian, no-nonsense tone with a vintage industrial edge. Its worn texture suggests printing on rough stock, rubber-stamp impressions, or painted signage, adding grit and urgency without becoming fully chaotic.
Designed to deliver maximum presence in a narrow measure while retaining a clean sans skeleton. The added distress and ink-wear detailing appears intended to evoke analog printing and rugged, workmanlike signage without sacrificing overall legibility.
In continuous text the tight spacing and strong verticals create a punchy, poster-like cadence; the distressed detailing becomes more noticeable at larger sizes. The rounded-rectangle geometry keeps bowls and curves feeling controlled even where the outlines are roughened.
