Sans Superellipse Agrif 4 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Akkordeon' by Emtype Foundry, 'Knockout' by Hoefler & Co., 'Poster Sans' by K-Type, 'Milky Bar' by Malgorzata Bartosik, 'PG Gothique' and 'PG Grotesque' by Paulo Goode, and 'Fixture' by Sudtipos (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, tightly set sans with compact proportions and a strong vertical emphasis. Strokes are largely monoline, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls and corners that keep counters open despite the narrow fit. Terminals are mostly flat and squared-off, and curves transition with controlled radiusing rather than fully circular arcs, producing a sturdy, engineered texture. The overall rhythm is dense and consistent, with simplified shapes that favor legibility at display sizes.
It performs best in headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where vertical compactness and strong stroke presence are desirable. The condensed build also suits signage and labels when space is limited, especially for short statements and punchy typographic systems.
The font conveys an industrial, no-nonsense tone—confident, direct, and slightly retro in the way it echoes signage and equipment labeling. Its condensed presence feels efficient and commanding, giving headlines a punchy, authoritative voice without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a space-saving display sans that balances compact widths with durable, rounded-rect construction. It prioritizes a strong, uniform typographic color and straightforward forms for impactful, functional communication.
In the samples, the tight width creates a strong column-like color in paragraphs, and the rounded-rect geometry helps maintain clarity in letters with bowls and joints. Numerals share the same compact build and read as sturdy, sign-like figures.
