Sans Superellipse Pirak 1 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cyclone' by Hoefler & Co., 'POLIGRA' by Machalski, 'Milky Bar' by Malgorzata Bartosik, and 'Parkson' by Rook Supply (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and softly squared curves that read like rounded-rectangle construction. Counters are small and tightly enclosed, giving the face a dense, high-ink texture and strong vertical rhythm. Terminals are blunt and straightforward, with minimal modulation and a generally geometric feel; rounded characters like O and Q stay narrow, while bowls (as in B, P, R) are compressed and firm. The lowercase keeps simple, single-storey forms (notably a and g) and short extenders, maintaining an even, packed color in text.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and display lines where maximum impact is needed in limited horizontal space. It also works well for branding applications such as logos and packaging, and for bold signage where a compact, sturdy sans can hold up to distance viewing.
The overall tone is punchy and attention-grabbing, with a slightly retro, poster-like flavor. Its rounded corners soften the mass, adding a friendly, playful edge while still feeling assertive and functional.
The design appears intended to deliver strong, space-saving display typography with a softened geometric voice—pairing dense strokes and narrow widths with rounded-rectangle curves for approachable, modern-retro emphasis.
Because of the condensed proportions and tight counters, the font’s presence builds quickly at larger sizes, while very small sizes may feel dark or crowded. The numerals share the same compact geometry, supporting consistent, space-efficient setting for short strings like dates and prices.
