Sans Superellipse Pidal 6 is a bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'HS Alwafa' by Hiba Studio, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'Akademiya' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed geometric sans with uniform stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel. Terminals are clean and blunt, with occasional intentional gaps and interior cut-ins that create a subtle stencil-like rhythm. The overall texture is dark and even, with tight apertures, compact counters, and a consistent vertical emphasis across the alphabet and numerals.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and wayfinding where the condensed width helps fit more characters per line. It also works well for UI titling and techno-themed graphics when set at medium to large sizes to preserve the interior shapes and gaps.
The design reads as technical and engineered, with an industrial, display-forward attitude. Its rounded, modular geometry suggests sci‑fi interfaces and retrofuturist signage, while the narrow stance keeps the tone brisk and utilitarian rather than friendly.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a compact, high-contrast silhouette with a consistent, machine-made rhythm. Rounded-rectangle geometry and selective cut-ins add a signature that differentiates the face in display use while keeping the overall structure clean and systematic.
Several characters lean on simplified, modular anatomy (notably in curved letters and some numerals), which reinforces the constructed aesthetic and helps maintain a consistent width across the set. The distinctive cut-ins and narrow counters become more prominent at smaller sizes, while at larger sizes they act as a defining stylistic signature.
