Sans Superellipse Luru 4 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Grizzly Bear' by Match & Kerosene, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, and 'PAG Revolucion' by Prop-a-ganda (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry with consistently softened corners and largely uniform stroke thickness. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and squared-off counters, giving letters a superelliptical, almost modular construction. Terminals are blunt and rounded, apertures are often tight, and interior spaces tend toward rectangular cutouts, producing a dense, graphic texture. Proportions are condensed with short extenders and steady vertical rhythm, while widths vary just enough to keep word shapes readable.
Best suited for headlines, title treatments, branding marks, and short bursts of copy where a strong, geometric voice is desired. It works well for tech/gaming-themed graphics, product packaging, event posters, and signage-style layouts where its blocky rhythm can carry the composition. For paragraphs, it benefits from larger sizes and extra spacing to keep counters from closing up.
The overall tone feels techno and retro at once—like arcade-era signage updated with cleaner, rounded engineering. Its chunky, squared curves and tight counters project an industrial confidence while still reading as friendly due to the softened corners. The result is bold, attention-seeking, and slightly game-like.
The design appears intended to deliver a distinctive, highly graphic sans that merges rounded friendliness with squared, engineered structure. By building letters from superelliptical blocks and keeping strokes consistent, it emphasizes punchy silhouettes and a cohesive, modular system that reads quickly in display contexts.
Distinctive forms include boxy round letters (O/Q/0) with rectangular counters, a compact S with flattened curves, and a W rendered as a multi-stem, channel-like shape that reinforces the modular theme. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect construction and maintain strong visual parity with the capitals. The dense interiors suggest better performance at larger sizes or with generous tracking in longer lines.
