Sans Superellipse Ogriv 7 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Gravitica Compressed' and 'Hoolister' by Ckhans Fonts, 'Albireo' and 'Albireo Soft' by Cory Maylett Design, 'Burger Honren' by IRF Lab Studio, 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski, and 'IRON MAN OF WAR' by The Fontry (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a strong vertical rhythm. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls and terminals, giving letters a sturdy, inflated silhouette rather than a geometric circle-based feel. Spacing appears tight and the condensed proportions emphasize tall verticals, while diagonals (like in K, V, W, X) remain blunt and weighty to match the overall mass.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where compact width and high impact are valuable—posters, packaging, badges, and bold branding marks. It can work for subheads or captions when sized generously and given breathing room, but is less appropriate for long reading due to tight counters and dense texture.
The overall tone is assertive and friendly at once—loud, chunky, and slightly nostalgic. Its rounded edges keep it approachable, while the compressed, blackened forms deliver a poster-like urgency that reads as energetic and fun rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a narrow footprint while keeping a soft, approachable personality through rounded, superelliptical forms. It prioritizes a strong, consistent texture and brandable silhouettes over typographic delicacy or extended text comfort.
The glyph set shows clear, simplified shapes with small apertures and compact interior spaces, which heightens impact but can reduce clarity at small sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded, blocky logic and feel built for consistency in display settings.
