Sans Superellipse Tirup 10 is a very bold, very narrow, high contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Fairweather' by Dharma Type, 'Mosquich' by FallenGraphic, and 'Frontage Condensed' by Juri Zaech (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and tightly enclosed counters. Strokes are dense and compact, with subtly softened corners and a slightly uneven, ink-worn texture that breaks up edges and interiors. Proportions are tall and narrow with a steady vertical rhythm; round letters read as squarish superellipses, and curves stay restrained. The lowercase is compact with short extenders and simple, sturdy forms, while numerals follow the same narrow, blocky logic for consistent color in lines of text.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, striking headlines, packaging, and signage where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work for wordmarks or badges that benefit from an industrial, stamped aesthetic, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the texture reads clearly.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a vintage print/press feeling created by the distressed, slightly imperfect texture. It suggests industrial signage, stamped labeling, and bold editorial headlines—confident, gritty, and straightforward rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight horizontal footprint while retaining a softened, rounded construction. The distressed surface treatment suggests an intentional nod to vintage printing or worn signage, balancing strict condensed geometry with tactile imperfection.
The texture is prominent enough to be part of the design rather than incidental noise, giving large sizes a tactile, analog look. At smaller sizes the narrow counters and distressed edges may visually fill in, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect legibility.
