Sans Superellipse Pimob 10 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Aureola' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Brecksville' by OzType., 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Bitcrusher' by Typodermic, and 'Competition' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with corners softened into consistent radii that give counters and bowls a superelliptical feel. Curves are tightly controlled and often resolve into straight, vertical-sided forms, producing a rigid rhythm and strong vertical emphasis. Apertures tend to be narrow, terminals are blunt, and the figures follow the same compact, squared-off logic for a cohesive, signage-like texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display roles where space is limited and impact is needed: headlines, posters, labels, and signage. It can also work for short UI titles or navigation elements where a compact, high-density word shape is helpful, but it will be most comfortable at larger sizes and in brief passages.
The tone is assertive and mechanical, with a retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of stenciled labeling and condensed display lettering. Its compact, upright stance feels efficient and no-nonsense, projecting strength and clarity rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a condensed footprint, pairing strict vertical geometry with softened corners to balance toughness and approachability. It prioritizes a uniform, engineered texture that reads quickly and holds together well in bold, high-contrast applications.
Uppercase and lowercase share a very similar structural voice, with simplified joins and minimal modulation that keeps the texture even. The design’s rounded corners soften the otherwise rigid geometry, helping dense settings feel less harsh while maintaining a strongly engineered character.
