Sans Superellipse Ollog 9 is a bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, short x-height font visually similar to 'EF DIN 1451' by Elsner+Flake, 'Gambler' by Fenotype, 'Framer Sans' by June 23, and 'Merchanto' by Type Juice (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed sans with uniform stroke weight and generously rounded corners that give many forms a squarish, superellipse feel. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be narrow, creating a dense vertical texture while keeping shapes crisp and clean. Terminals often end in flat, softly rounded cuts, and curves transition quickly into straighter sides, producing a structured, slightly boxy rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same compressed stance, with consistent weight and minimal modulation for a steady, sign-like presence.
Best suited to display settings where condensed width and high visual density are an advantage, such as headlines, posters, signage, labels, and packaging. It can also work for compact UI labels or branded graphics where space is limited and a sturdy, geometric voice is desired.
The overall tone is pragmatic and assertive—compact, no-nonsense letterforms with a subtle retro-industrial flavor. The rounded geometry softens the impact just enough to feel approachable while still reading as strong and functional.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a compressed silhouette with rounded-rectilinear construction for clarity and a distinctive geometric identity.
Spacing and proportions emphasize verticality, which helps short words and headlines feel punchy, but the tight apertures and dense texture can feel heavy in long passages. The rounded-rectangle construction stays consistent across cases and figures, giving the font a cohesive, systematized look.
