Sans Superellipse Ragel 6 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Hype Vol 1' and 'Hype vol 2' by Positype, 'Ggx89' by Typodermic, and 'Heading Now' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed sans with tall proportions and a compact horizontal footprint. Strokes are uniform and heavy, with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) curves in bowls and terminals that keep counters tight and shapes economical. The overall rhythm is strongly vertical, with straight-sided rounds (notably in C, O, and G) and minimal modulation, producing a consistent, monoline texture. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same narrow, stacked feel, and punctuation sits sturdy and straightforward in the line.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where height and impact matter more than airy readability—posters, event titles, branding wordmarks, packaging callouts, and signage. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation where vertical economy is useful, especially with a bit of extra letterspacing.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, leaning toward industrial and urban signage. Its compressed stance and dense color feel direct and commanding, with a contemporary, no-nonsense attitude suited to attention-grabbing messages.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a condensed width while keeping forms simple and robust. The superelliptic rounding softens the rigidity of the narrow structure, aiming for a modern, engineered look that holds up in bold, high-contrast applications.
Round letters read more like softened rectangles than pure circles, reinforcing a mechanical, engineered impression. Spacing appears tight and the narrow counters can close in at smaller sizes, so the design benefits from generous point sizes or increased tracking when needed.
