Sans Superellipse Kelu 4 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Brookside JNL' and 'Factual JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Maximalis' by Say Studio, and 'Beachwood' by Swell Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, right-slanted sans with heavy, uniform stroke weight and softly squared (superellipse-like) curves. Counters are tight and apertures are small, giving the letters a dense, high-impact rhythm. Terminals are clean and blunt, with subtle rounding that keeps shapes from feeling brittle; curves in C/O/Q read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than geometric circles. The overall texture is compact and energetic, with consistently narrow proportions across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to display settings where immediate impact matters: sports identities, fitness and motorsport graphics, event posters, bold editorial headings, and attention-grabbing packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation in contexts that benefit from a compact, forceful typographic voice, but it is most effective in large, headline-driven applications.
The font projects speed and intensity, with a forward-leaning stance that feels athletic and urgent. Its dense forms and tight spacing cues suggest performance, impact, and a no-nonsense, utilitarian attitude rather than friendliness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a fast, compressed headline voice with strong presence and efficient space usage. The rounded-rectangle construction balances toughness with controlled refinement, aiming for a contemporary, high-performance aesthetic that stays clean and consistent across letters and numbers.
Capitals are tall and authoritative, while the lowercase maintains strong presence and legibility through a large body and compact counters. Numerals follow the same condensed, punchy logic, suited to prominent scoring, stats, or pricing. The rounded-corner construction helps maintain clarity at larger sizes, where the blocky silhouette becomes a defining graphic element.
