Sans Superellipse Osbos 11 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Premis' and 'Resident' by Fenotype, 'Classic Grotesque' by Monotype, 'Goudar HL' by Stawix, and 'Mynor' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavyweight sans with squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes stay largely uniform, with minimal modulation and dense, compact counters that create a strong vertical rhythm. Terminals are mostly blunt and straight, while round letters take on superelliptical shapes that read as soft-edged yet sturdy. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g and a short, functional join structure, keeping the overall texture tight and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short statements where maximum impact and space efficiency are needed. It works well on posters, packaging, wayfinding, and bold brand lockups, especially where a condensed footprint helps fit copy into narrow columns or tight layouts.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a compact, no-nonsense presence that feels industrial and poster-driven. Its rounded-square geometry adds a subtle retro warmth, preventing the weight and compression from feeling overly severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact voice using rounded-rectangle forms and blunt terminals, prioritizing clarity and presence over delicate detail. Its consistent stroke weight and engineered curves suggest a focus on strong reproduction across print and screen in display contexts.
Because apertures and counters are tight, the face gains punch and solidity, but it can darken quickly in long lines or at small sizes. The figures and capitals share the same blocky, engineered character, helping numeric-heavy settings feel consistent with headlines.
