Sans Superellipse Ragoh 9 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Blue Creek' by ActiveSphere, 'Albireo' and 'Albireo Soft' by Cory Maylett Design, and 'Etrusco Now' by Italiantype (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, condensed sans with largely monoline strokes and a compact, vertical rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than a purely circular feel. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with gentle rounding at key corners to keep the texture from feeling brittle. The overall spacing reads tight and economical, producing a dense, high-ink silhouette that stays uniform across lines of text.
Best suited for display settings where vertical economy and strong presence matter—headlines, posters, covers, and branded wordmarks. It can also work in short UI labels or signage where space is limited, though the dense texture is more comfortable at larger sizes than in long-form reading.
The tone is direct and utilitarian, with a contemporary, slightly industrial edge. Its condensed stance and firm stroke presence create urgency and emphasis, while the softened corners keep it from feeling overly harsh. Overall it conveys modern efficiency and confident clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while preserving a clean, modern sans structure. Its rounded-rectilinear curves suggest a deliberate move toward a contemporary, engineered feel that remains approachable.
Round letters (like O/C/G) maintain a vertically stressed, superelliptical contour, and straight-sided forms reinforce a strong columnar texture. In the sample text, the narrow set and solid color create a prominent typographic voice that favors impact over airiness.
