Sans Superellipse Ombot 13 is a bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Acumin' by Adobe, 'Geometric 706' by Bitstream, 'Kristall H MfD Pro' by Elsner+Flake, and 'RF Rufo' by Russian Fonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, tightly set sans with tall proportions and a narrow footprint. Strokes stay essentially even in weight, creating a solid, poster-like texture, while corners are softened and many curves feel built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than true circles. Counters are relatively small and vertical stems dominate, giving the face a strong, efficient rhythm; terminals are mostly blunt with occasional gentle rounding for continuity. The lowercase uses single-storey forms where expected, with a short-armed “r” and a straightforward, vertical “t,” and the numerals follow the same condensed, blocky construction for consistent color in mixed settings.
Best suited to headlines, short slogans, labels, and signage where space is limited and impact is needed. It can work well in branding systems that want a condensed, mechanical voice and in packaging or wayfinding where a strong vertical rhythm helps information scan quickly.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense—more engineered than expressive—with a contemporary, industrial edge. Its condensed density and squared-round shapes feel confident and pragmatic, projecting clarity and authority rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using simplified, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle construction to keep forms consistent and robust. It prioritizes compactness and visual strength over airy readability, aiming for a modern, utilitarian display voice.
Round letters like C, O, and S retain a squarish, superelliptic silhouette, which helps maintain even spacing and a uniform texture at larger sizes. The narrow apertures and compact counters increase punch but also make the face feel dense, especially in extended text.
