Sans Superellipse Osdan 7 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Akzidenz-Grotesk' and 'Akzidenz-Grotesk W1G' by Berthold, 'Diamante EF' by Elsner+Flake, 'Geogrotesque Sharp' by Emtype Foundry, 'Masifa Rounded' by Hurufatfont, 'PT Filter' by Paavola Type Studio, and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with superelliptic construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, and terminals are blunt with softened corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark word shapes. The condensed proportions and tall lowercase make lines feel tight and efficient, while spacing is kept firm to preserve a strong, poster-like texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, logos, and bold branding systems where density and presence are assets. It also fits athletic or industrial packaging and labeling, and can work in UI or wayfinding for prominent titles and badges when space is constrained.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, projecting confidence and urgency. Its rounded-rectangle geometry adds a contemporary, engineered feel that reads as sporty and industrial rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a tight horizontal footprint, using rounded-rectangle forms to keep the texture contemporary and cohesive. It prioritizes impact and uniformity over typographic nuance, aiming for clear recognition at display sizes.
Round letters such as C, G, O, and Q appear squarish with generous corner rounding, reinforcing the superellipse theme. The numerals share the same compact, block-like logic, and the uppercase set is built for impact with little internal delicacy.
