Sans Superellipse Byruh 6 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Coign' by Colophon Foundry, 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype, and 'Hype Vol 1' by Positype (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly compressed sans with monoline strokes and an emphatically vertical rhythm. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse geometry, producing squared counters with softened corners and a consistent, engineered feel. Curves are restrained and held narrow, while straight stems dominate; joins are clean and compact, and spacing is economical, creating dense word shapes. Figures follow the same condensed construction, with simple, elongated forms that align neatly with the font’s tall proportions.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact lines where condensed width and strong verticality help fit more characters without losing presence. It works well for branding systems, posters, packaging, and signage that benefit from a modern, geometric voice. For long paragraphs, the dense spacing and compressed forms may be more effective in larger sizes or with generous tracking.
The tone is bold and attention-driven, with a sleek, metropolitan edge. Its compressed silhouettes and geometric regularity evoke signage, packaging, and contemporary editorial headlines—confident, direct, and a bit theatrical.
The design appears intended as a display-forward condensed sans that maximizes impact and economy of space. By using rounded-rectangle geometry and consistent monoline construction, it aims for a crisp, contemporary texture that remains cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Round letters (like O/C) read as vertically stretched capsules with squared interior counters, reinforcing a streamlined, architectural look. The lowercase maintains strong presence at display sizes, with minimal modulation and a consistent grid-like discipline across the set.
