Sans Superellipse Pomiv 5 is a bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Sailfin' by ActiveSphere, 'Hoolister' by Ckhans Fonts, 'Film P3' by Fontsphere, and 'Allerton' and 'Classification JNL' by Jeff Levine (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly squared-off, rounded-corner construction. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and terminals, giving round letters a rectilinear feel (notably in O/Q and the arches of m/n/u). Counters tend to be narrow and vertical, apertures are relatively closed, and joins are clean and consistent, producing a compact, rhythmic texture. Uppercase forms are straightforward and geometric, while lowercase maintains the same narrow proportions with simple, sturdy stems and minimal modulation.
Best suited for short to medium-length display settings where space is limited but presence is needed—headlines, posters, storefront/signage systems, labels, and brand marks. It can also work for UI labels or navigation where a compact, high-contrast silhouette helps scanning, provided sizes are large enough to preserve the narrow counters.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a streamlined, slightly retro-industrial character. Its narrow stance and squared-round geometry suggest efficiency and impact, evoking signage, packaging, and headline typography rather than delicate editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using a consistent rounded-rect geometry to keep letterforms sturdy and easily recognizable. The emphasis is on a clean, engineered look with strong vertical rhythm and a cohesive, system-like feel across letters and numerals.
The font’s tight internal spacing and condensed widths create strong vertical emphasis and a uniform “bar” rhythm across words. Numerals and capitals read especially punchy, and the rounded-rectangle shaping keeps the style consistent across both straight and curved glyphs.
