Sans Superellipse Ognaj 4 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Campione Neue' by BoxTube Labs; 'Mercurial' by Grype; 'Amfibia', 'Karibu', and 'Movida' by ROHH; and 'Obvia Condensed' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense black shapes and sturdy counters. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls (notably in C, G, O, e), while joins and terminals stay blunt and squared, keeping the texture tight and uniform. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, and the numerals share the same boxy, rounded structure for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding systems where strong impact and compact width are valuable. It can also work for short UI labels, signage, and apparel/athletic graphics, particularly when set with a bit of extra tracking to keep counters open.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian, engineered feel softened by rounded corners. It reads as confident and energetic, with a hint of retro display flavor reminiscent of athletic or industrial branding. The compact rhythm gives text a punchy, headline-forward presence.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that maximizes bold presence in a compact footprint. Its rounded-rect geometry suggests a goal of combining industrial sturdiness with approachable softness, yielding a versatile voice for modern brand and promotional typography.
The condensed proportions and dense stroke mass create strong word shapes at medium-to-large sizes, while tight internal spaces suggest careful size selection is important for smaller settings. The design’s consistent corner rounding and squared terminals make it especially visually stable in all-caps and numeral-heavy lines.
