Sans Superellipse Piget 5 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Miura' by DSType, 'FF Clan' by FontFont, and 'PT Sans Pro' by ParaType (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with a strongly vertical stance and tightly packed proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superellipse feel rather than true circles. Strokes remain largely uniform, with blunt terminals and minimal modulation; joins and corners tend to read slightly softened instead of sharp. Apertures are tight and counters are small, producing dense word shapes and a strong, even texture across lines.
Best suited to large-size applications where impact and vertical economy matter, such as headlines, posters, storefront/signage, packaging titles, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short callouts or labels where a dense, forceful texture is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a bold, no-nonsense presence that recalls industrial labeling and compressed headline typography. Its rounded-rectangle curves add a friendly, slightly retro warmth to an otherwise tough, blocky voice.
The design appears intended to maximize visual punch in a compressed footprint, pairing heavy, uniform strokes with rounded-rectangle construction for recognizable shapes and strong shelf or distance presence.
The condensed width and small internal spaces make punctuation and interior details feel sturdy rather than delicate. In longer settings the dense rhythm can look dark and compact, while at larger sizes the distinctive squarish rounds become a defining stylistic signature.
