Sans Superellipse Pigof 4 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Entropia' by Slava Antipov; 'Angmar', 'Delonie', and 'Headpen' by Umka Type; and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, condensed sans with heavy, monoline strokes and a strongly vertical stance. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are blunt and clean, corners are subtly softened, and the overall rhythm is tight with economical spacing. Uppercase forms are tall and commanding, while the lowercase follows the same narrow, sturdy construction with a high x-height and simplified, sturdy joins.
Best suited for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and wayfinding or signage where space is limited. It also fits branding contexts that benefit from a condensed, hard-working tone—such as sports, industrial, or tech-forward identities—especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is forceful and pragmatic, reading as industrial and contemporary. Its compressed silhouettes and sturdy blocks project urgency and efficiency, making the voice feel direct rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to maximize presence and legibility in narrow widths by pairing heavy strokes with simplified, squared-off curves. Its consistent, superelliptical construction suggests a focus on a cohesive, modern display voice that remains structured and space-efficient.
In text, the narrow set and dense stroke mass create a dark, high-impact texture, especially in extended passages. Round characters like O/C/G and numerals keep a squared interior, reinforcing a consistent, engineered look across letters and figures.
