Sans Superellipse Kela 4 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Adversary BB' by Blambot, 'Ultimatum MFV' by Comicraft, 'FX Neofara' by Differentialtype, and 'Avionic' by Grype (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, oblique sans with heavy strokes and compact counters. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are softly radiused while straights remain crisp, producing a squared-off, superelliptical feel rather than fully circular rounds. Terminals are mostly blunt and uniform, with minimal stroke modulation and tight interior space, which amplifies the dark, solid texture in lines of text. Curves (C, O, S, G) stay controlled and slightly squared, and the overall rhythm is fast and forward-leaning, supported by short crossbars and compact apertures.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as sports identities, event posters, bold editorial heads, product packaging, and attention-grabbing UI headers. It performs well where a condensed footprint and strong presence are needed, and is less appropriate for long-form text due to its dense weight and tight counters.
The face conveys speed and pressure—assertive, athletic, and engineered. Its forward slant and dense color give it a competitive, headline-driven tone that feels contemporary and performance-oriented rather than casual or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while retaining a smooth, industrial polish. Its superelliptical construction and oblique stance suggest a goal of combining modern signage clarity with a sense of motion and power for display-driven typography.
Figures follow the same compact, rounded-rect logic, reading clearly at display sizes and keeping a consistent, blocky silhouette. The uppercase set feels especially poster-like, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, utilitarian presence with compact bowls and straightforward joins.
