Sans Superellipse Osrew 4 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, reverse italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Molde' by Letritas, 'Entropia' by Slava Antipov, 'Konkret' by Typocalypse, and 'Balbek Pro Cut' by Valentino Vergan (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with a consistent reverse slant and broadly rounded corners that push many shapes toward a rounded-rectangle/superellipse feel. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing dense black letterforms with tight interior counters and crisp, squared terminals softened by rounding. Proportions are tall and condensed, with a high x-height and short ascenders/descenders, giving lowercase a sturdy, stacked look. Curves on C/G/O/Q are smooth and controlled, while diagonals (K, N, V, W, X) read as rigid, engineered forms; numerals match the same compact, high-impact construction.
Best suited to display typography where its compact width and heavy mass can deliver maximum impact—headlines, posters, merchandise, packaging callouts, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when sizes are generous and contrast against the background is high.
The overall tone is loud and energetic, with a distinctly poster-like presence. The reverse slant adds motion and attitude, reading as sporty and slightly retro—more headline-driven than neutral or quiet.
The design appears intended to provide a condensed, high-impact voice with forward motion, combining geometric, rounded-rectangle construction with a reverse-leaning stance for extra energy in branding and headline settings.
In text settings the dense weight and narrow width create strong texture and pronounced rhythm, especially where rounded counters (e, a, o) alternate with straight-sided forms (n, m, u). Spacing appears tuned for impact at display sizes; at smaller sizes the tight counters may begin to close visually.
