Sans Superellipse Ogbab 14 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Korolev' by Device; 'Sharp Grotesk Latin', 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean', and 'Sharp Grotesk Thai' by Monotype; and 'Kelpt' by Typesketchbook (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with squared proportions softened by consistently rounded corners. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, creating a solid, poster-like color in text. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular/oval, and joints are simplified and sturdy, giving letters a slightly compressed, engineered rhythm. Numerals and capitals read especially rigid and block-forward, while the lowercase maintains a tall, efficient structure that keeps word shapes clear at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and bold interface moments where compact width and high visual weight are advantages. It also works well for signage and branding that wants an industrial or athletic edge, especially when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and practical, with a slightly retro, industrial feel. Its rounded corners add a friendly safety-sign softness to an otherwise tough, no-nonsense voice. The result feels energetic and direct—more about impact and clarity than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry and uniform stroke weight for a cohesive, high-impact texture. It prioritizes straightforward construction and consistent corner rounding to stay legible and robust in display use.
Round forms (like O, C, G) lean toward squarish superellipse shapes rather than true circles, reinforcing the compact, mechanical character. The punctuation and straight-sided letters keep a consistent weight and corner treatment, which helps the font hold together in dense settings.
