Sans Superellipse Pigol 10 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Miura' by DSType, 'Morgan Tower' by Feliciano, 'FF Clan' and 'FF Schmalhans' by FontFont, and 'Muller Next' by Fontfabric (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tight internal counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) geometry, giving bowls and shoulders a squarish, softened profile rather than true circles. Strokes stay largely even, terminals are clean and blunt, and curves transition quickly into straight segments, producing a firm, vertical rhythm. The lowercase is sturdy and utilitarian, with short ascenders/descenders relative to the tall, condensed silhouette and simplified joins that keep shapes dense at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact lines where a condensed footprint is useful—posters, packaging panels, signage, and branding that needs a strong, compressed wordmark. It can work for subheads and callouts, but the dense counters suggest keeping longer passages to larger sizes and generous leading.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro, poster-era flavor. Its condensed massing and squared rounds read as industrial and assertive, projecting urgency and confidence without decorative flourish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectilinear construction to keep forms sturdy, uniform, and highly reproducible across bold display applications.
The narrow fit and dense blackness make letter spacing feel naturally tight; the design’s squarish counters help preserve character distinctness even as forms pack together. Numerals match the same compact, blunt construction, reinforcing a consistent, sign-like texture across mixed text.
