Sans Superellipse Otgug 1 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Shelf' by 21Type, 'Carouge Pro' by André Simard, 'Tipperary eText' by Monotype, and 'Acorde' by Willerstorfer (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves are broad and superelliptical rather than circular, giving bowls and counters a squarish, compact feel. Strokes are monolinear with sturdy joins and short terminals; several forms show subtly flattened curves that reinforce the blocky rhythm. Spacing and proportions read tight and efficient, with clearly open apertures and simple, high-clarity silhouettes across letters and numerals.
Best suited for display settings where a strong, compact texture is desirable—headlines, posters, branding systems, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short blocks of emphasis text or UI labels when a friendly but assertive voice is needed, though the dense forms may feel heavy for long reading.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, pairing a friendly softness with a strong, no-nonsense presence. Its rounded geometry feels contemporary and slightly playful, while the dense weight and crisp shapes keep it assertive and practical.
The design appears intended to translate superelliptical, rounded-rectangle geometry into a high-impact sans that stays legible and consistent across a full alphanumeric set. It aims to balance approachability (soft corners, rounded bowls) with confident visibility (dense strokes, compact counters) for contemporary graphic applications.
Uppercase forms lean toward broad, stable geometry (notably in rounded letters like C/G/O), while lowercase maintains straightforward construction with prominent bowls and compact counters. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, reading solid and sign-like, with a particularly chunky, display-forward texture in running text.
