Sans Superellipse Lune 1 is a very bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'CarlMarx' by Adobe, 'Kufica' by Artegra, 'Aureola' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Fresno' by Parkinson, and 'Hornsea FC' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes keep a largely even thickness, with squared terminals that are subtly radiused, producing a sturdy, tubular silhouette. Counters are tight and often rectangular or slot-like, and joins favor simple, mechanical connections over calligraphic modulation. Overall spacing and proportions create a compact rhythm that stays highly legible while maintaining a strong, poster-like presence.
Best suited for display sizes where its condensed width and heavy color can carry impact—headlines, posters, logos, and bold brand systems. It also fits wayfinding and packaging where a compact footprint is useful and a retro-industrial voice is desired.
The tone feels retro-futurist and industrial—bold, efficient, and slightly playful due to the rounded corners. Its tall, compressed forms and squared curves evoke mid-century signage and sci‑fi interface lettering, balancing toughness with approachability.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rect geometry to keep forms consistent and approachable. Its simplified, modular construction prioritizes bold recognition and a distinctive, engineered texture in short lines of text.
Curved letters (like C, O, S) read as superelliptical forms rather than true circles, giving a cohesive, engineered feel. The numerals share the same condensed, rounded-rect geometry, and the overall texture in text is dark and uniform, with distinctive rectangular apertures that emphasize a technical, display-driven personality.
