Sans Superellipse Ragaj 10 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Compacta' by ITC, 'Tusker Grotesk' by Lewis McGuffie Type, and 'Cimo' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from tall, condensed proportions with dense, uniform strokes and minimal modulation. Curves are treated as rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, producing squared bowls and counters with softened corners rather than true circular geometry. Terminals are predominantly flat and vertical, and the overall rhythm is tightly packed, creating a strong vertical texture across both uppercase and lowercase. The lowercase shows a simplified, sturdy construction (single-storey shapes where applicable) that matches the compressed footprint of the capitals, while numerals follow the same narrow, upright silhouette for consistent alignment in headlines and labels.
It performs best in headlines, posters, packaging, and brand wordmarks where a condensed footprint and strong vertical emphasis help conserve space while staying attention-grabbing. It can also suit signage, labels, and editorial display settings that benefit from a sturdy, engineered look.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a compressed, high-impact presence that reads as modern and industrial. Its rigid verticality and squared rounding lend a confident, engineered feel—more signage and editorial display than conversational text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a compressed width, using rounded-rectangle forms to keep the texture geometric and consistent. It prioritizes bold presence and tight, vertical rhythm for display-driven typography in modern, industrial-leaning layouts.
Because the internal counters are relatively tight at this width, the font gains impact at larger sizes, where the rounded-rect geometry and compact spacing become a clear stylistic signature. The straight-sided bowls and narrow apertures create a continuous, poster-like color that emphasizes blocks of text and stacked compositions.
