Sans Superellipse Ragik 9 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Coign' by Colophon Foundry, 'Resolve Sans' by Fenotype, 'Ikigai' and 'Ikigai Variable' by Monotype, and 'Aeternus' by Unio Creative Solutions (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly rectilinear skeleton softened by rounded-rectangle curves. Counters and bowls tend toward narrow, vertical ovals, and terminals are mostly straight or gently rounded, keeping edges clean and consistent. The overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with tight interior spaces and simplified forms that emphasize height over width; diagonals (as in V, W, X, Y) are sharply drawn and maintain the same stroke weight. Numerals follow the same narrow, upright construction with compact bowls and minimal modulation.
Best suited to display sizes where its condensed structure can maximize words per line without losing impact. It works well for headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and wayfinding or labels where a tall, compact voice is desirable.
The font reads as direct and assertive, with a contemporary, utilitarian tone. Its compressed proportions and simplified geometry give it a punchy, attention-grabbing presence that feels at home in modern branding and functional signage.
Likely intended as a space-saving display sans that delivers a strong vertical silhouette and a modern, engineered feel. The rounded-rectangle construction suggests a goal of blending strict geometry with approachable softness for contemporary editorial and branding use.
The design leans on rounded-rectangle geometry across both uppercase and lowercase, producing a cohesive, engineered look. Narrow apertures and compact counters create a dense texture in text, especially in mixed-case settings, while the tall caps and ascenders reinforce a strong vertical emphasis.
