Sans Superellipse Olmay 6 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Empera' by BoxTube Labs, 'Evanston Alehouse' by Kimmy Design, 'Born Strong' by Rook Supply, 'Hurdle' by Umka Type, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with squared silhouettes softened by pronounced rounded corners. Strokes are broadly even, with minimal contrast and generous interior rounding that keeps counters open despite the dense weight. Curves are built from superellipse-like shapes, producing a rectilinear rhythm in rounds and a tightly controlled, engineered feel. Terminals are blunt and clean, and the overall spacing is tight, reinforcing a compressed, high-impact texture in lines of text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display settings where dense weight and compact width help fit more characters into limited space. It performs well in branding contexts that want a tough, modern voice—such as sports, automotive, tools, or tech-adjacent packaging—and in signage or labels where bold shapes need to hold up at a glance.
The tone is assertive and functional, with a sporty, industrial edge. Its rounded-rectangle geometry reads as modern and pragmatic rather than friendly, projecting strength and straightforward clarity. The condensed proportions add urgency and punch, making it feel suited to bold, attention-grabbing communication.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep forms cohesive and contemporary. Its simplified, even-stroke approach prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and a uniform, controlled texture for bold display typography.
Round letters lean toward squared ovals, and corners are consistently softened, giving the design a cohesive ‘machined’ smoothness. The numerals and capitals maintain the same compact, blocky construction, helping mixed alphanumeric settings look uniform and purposeful. In paragraphs, the strong vertical emphasis creates a tight, poster-like color that’s better for short bursts than long reading.
