Sans Superellipse Piley 7 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Armetica' by Hsan Fonts, 'Frontage Condensed' by Juri Zaech, 'Proteina' by MendozaVergara, 'Ggx89' by Typodermic, and 'Delonie' and 'Marce' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, tall sans with heavy, even strokes and a strong condensed footprint. Curves and counters are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and terminals a squared-off softness rather than true circles. The rhythm is tightly packed with small counters and relatively closed apertures, while strokes stay largely monolinear and upright. Numerals and capitals read as sturdy and uniform, with occasional glyph-to-glyph width variation that keeps the texture from becoming overly mechanical.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a strong condensed presence is needed in limited horizontal space. It can also support bold brand marks and short UI labels, especially where clear vertical emphasis and high visual density are desirable.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, combining an industrial sturdiness with a contemporary, display-driven punch. Its compressed shapes and dense color create a confident, attention-grabbing voice that feels practical rather than decorative.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a narrow width, using superelliptical, rounded-rectangle forms to maintain a controlled, modern geometry. The consistent stroke weight and compact counters suggest a focus on strong silhouette and fast recognition at display sizes.
The rounded-rectilinear construction produces distinctive silhouettes in letters like O/C/S and in the lowercase bowls, where corners feel gently eased instead of sharply cut. In longer text, the condensed spacing and small interior counters create a dark, emphatic typographic color that favors impact over airiness.
