Sans Superellipse Olmem 1 is a very bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cooperative' by Hafontia; 'Hornsea FC' by Studio Fat Cat; 'Angmar', 'Delonie', and 'Headpen' by Umka Type; and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with tightly condensed proportions and a blocky silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) curves at corners and terminals, producing smooth, softened edges rather than sharp cuts. Counters are small and controlled, and many joins and apertures feel pinched, emphasizing a dense, economical texture. The rhythm is vertical and steady, with straightforward, minimally modulated forms that read as engineered and space-efficient.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where strong presence and space-saving letterforms are advantages. It can work well for short bursts of text—titles, callouts, and interface labels—especially when high impact is more important than long-form readability.
The overall tone is assertive and functional, with a no-nonsense, industrial feel. Its narrow, packed shapes create urgency and impact, suggesting sports, utility labeling, and bold headline communication rather than quiet editorial reading.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual punch in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangular geometry to keep the weight feeling friendly while still bold and authoritative. It prioritizes strong uniform texture and quick recognition for display contexts.
In the sample text, word shapes stack into a dark, uniform color, and the condensed width makes lines feel tight and forceful. Numerals and capitals share the same squared-off rounding and compact counters, reinforcing a consistent, signage-like voice.
