Sans Superellipse Pynol 9 is a regular weight, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Acumin' by Adobe, and 'FF Good' and 'FF Good Headline' by FontFont (names referenced only for comparison).

This sans is built from compact, rounded-rectangle geometry with softly curved corners and largely monoline strokes. Proportions are strongly vertical: narrow letterforms, tight bowls, and short crossbars create a compressed, efficient texture. Curves read as superellipse-like rather than purely circular, and terminals tend to end bluntly, keeping the silhouette crisp. Counters are relatively small and vertical, and the overall rhythm is even, giving the text a steady, engineered feel in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to situations where horizontal space is limited and strong vertical emphasis is desirable, such as headlines, posters, navigation and wayfinding, UI labels, and packaging fronts. It can also work for short paragraphs or captions when a tight, modern texture is intentional and sufficient size/spacing is provided for comfortable reading.
The tone is contemporary and functional, with a streamlined, space-saving presence that feels at home in modern interfaces and signage. Its rounded geometry softens the austerity of a condensed build, suggesting a friendly but no-nonsense voice. Overall it communicates clarity, efficiency, and a subtle tech-forward character.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, modern sans with rounded-rectilinear forms that remain clear at a glance while maximizing information density. Its controlled geometry and blunt terminals point to a pragmatic display-and-interface role, balancing a technical structure with approachable roundness.
The sample text shows a consistent, high-density paragraph color: narrow widths and compact internal spaces produce a strong vertical cadence. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded construction, aligning visually with the alphabet for cohesive mixed-content settings.
