Sans Superellipse Olmeh 9 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Quick Ravage' by Dryy Type, 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, 'Born Strong' by Rook Supply, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing a solid, poster-like texture with minimal contrast. Counters tend to be small and squared-off, apertures are tight, and many joins resolve into blunt terminals, giving letters a machined, molded feel. The overall rhythm is condensed and upright, with sturdy verticals and a consistent superelliptical logic across rounds (O, Q, 0) and bowls (B, P, R).
Best suited to large-scale applications where its dense weight and compact width can deliver impact: headlines, posters, badges, labels, and brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding where a bold, space-efficient word shape is needed, but it’s most effective in brief runs rather than long paragraphs.
The tone is forceful and practical—more equipment-label than editorial. Its rounded squareness adds approachability to an otherwise hard-working, no-nonsense voice, evoking industrial signage and bold athletic branding. The dense color and tight openings read as confident and slightly retro, like mid-century display lettering adapted for modern layouts.
The design appears intended as a space-efficient, high-impact display sans built from rounded rectangular primitives. It prioritizes uniform stroke strength and a consistent geometric system to create a tough, contemporary look that remains friendly at the corners, aligning well with branding and signage needs.
Distinctive details include a blocky, single-storey lowercase set (a, g) and simplified punctuation and numerals that match the squared, rounded geometry. The narrow proportions and strong stems create high impact but also make interior spaces and similar shapes (e.g., 0/O, some lowercase forms) feel close in tone at smaller sizes.
