Sans Superellipse Bymol 1 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Coign' by Colophon Foundry; 'Cimo', 'Sharp Grotesk Latin', and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype; and 'Hype Vol 1' by Positype (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and softly rounded, superelliptic curves. Letterforms are built from narrow vertical stems and compact bowls, producing a strongly vertical rhythm with minimal lateral spread. Terminals are clean and squared-off with gentle rounding, and counters tend to be slim and upright, keeping the texture dense and even. Numerals follow the same compressed construction, reading as stacked, column-like figures with consistent stroke weight.
Well-suited to display typography where height and impact are priorities—posters, headlines, logotypes, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short subheads and callouts where a dense, high-energy typographic texture is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and commanding, with a streamlined, urban character. Its compressed proportions and rigid vertical cadence evoke an industrial, headline-first sensibility that feels modern and slightly retro in a poster and signage way.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, combining a compact footprint with a clean geometric construction. Rounded-rectangle curves and uniform strokes suggest an aim for a contemporary, industrial look that stays crisp and consistent in large-scale applications.
Because the forms are extremely condensed, spacing and internal counters become the main determinants of clarity; the font reads best when given room and set at display sizes. The consistent, low-contrast stroke behavior keeps the color uniform across long strings of text, reinforcing a strong, uninterrupted vertical pattern.
