Sans Superellipse Olruj 6 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Milky Bar' by Malgorzata Bartosik, 'Hornsea FC' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Beachwood' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed, heavy sans with monolinear strokes and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves are minimal and corners are consistently softened, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel. The shapes rely on straight verticals and compact horizontals, with slightly flared/rounded terminals that keep the dense forms from feeling brittle. Counters are narrow and mostly rectangular, producing a strong vertical rhythm and high ink coverage in text settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, headlines, branding wordmarks, labels, and signage where space is tight. The condensed footprint supports stacked compositions and narrow columns, while the bold mass holds up well at distance. For long-form reading, it will be most effective in small bursts (subheads, callouts) rather than continuous paragraphs.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling and vintage condensed display typography. Its compact width and chunky geometry feel pragmatic and mechanical, while the rounded corners add a friendly, retro softness. Overall it reads as confident and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or editorial.
The design appears intended to maximize presence in limited horizontal space by combining condensed proportions with robust, rounded-rectilinear forms. Its consistent corner treatment and monoline construction suggest a focus on a cohesive, industrial display voice that remains clean and legible in bold settings.
Distinctive squared bowls and apertures create a consistent, engineered look across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. The lowercase maintains the same rigid geometry as the uppercase, with simple, sturdy joins and minimal modulation, helping keep texture uniform in dense headlines.
