Sans Superellipse Penid 4 is a very bold, very narrow, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'EFCO Growers' by Ilham Herry, 'Analogy' by Jafar07, 'Fresno' by Parkinson, 'Size' by SD Fonts, and 'FTY Konkrete' and 'FTY Strategycide' by The Fontry (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, vertically oriented sans with thick, nearly uniform strokes and a strongly condensed footprint. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squared counters and softened corners rather than circular bowls. Openings and apertures are generally narrow, and the shapes lean on straight vertical sides with short, blunt terminals, creating a rigid, poster-like rhythm. The lowercase is tall and economical, with simple forms and restrained interior space; numerals follow the same monoline, squared-curve construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact width and strong black presence help fit more characters into limited space. It also works well for signage, packaging, and UI labels that need a sturdy, industrial voice, particularly at medium-to-large sizes where its squared curves and dense rhythm read clearly.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a controlled, engineered feel. Its rounded-rectangular curves add a subtle retro-futurist and signage flavor while remaining straightforward and no-nonsense. The condensed stance and heavy color give it an assertive, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while keeping a cohesive, geometric voice. By using rounded-rectangle construction and blunt terminals, it aims for a modern-industrial look that feels both functional and stylized for display typography.
Text samples show strong word-shape continuity and a dense typographic color, especially at larger sizes. The squared counters and tight apertures can become visually compact in longer lines, reinforcing a display-first personality. The design maintains consistent geometry across capitals, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing a unified, system-like aesthetic.
