Sans Superellipse Etges 10 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Kuunari' by Melvastype, 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype, and 'Amsi Grotesk' by Stawix (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, forward-slanted sans with heavy, uniform strokes and compact internal counters. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes, giving O/C/e-style forms a superelliptical feel rather than purely circular bowls. Terminals are clean and mostly squared-off with softened corners, and the overall construction reads sturdy and geometric. Spacing is tight but consistent, with a tall lowercase structure and short extenders that keep lines dense and punchy.
This font performs best in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, athletic or motorsport-themed graphics, and bold brand marks. It also suits packaging and promotional layouts where dense copy needs to stay loud and readable at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is forceful and fast, combining a utilitarian, engineered look with a sporty, momentum-driven slant. Its compact massing and dark color create an attention-grabbing, no-nonsense voice suited to bold statements rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, using rounded-rect geometry and simplified sans construction to stay legible under heavy weight. The slant reinforces speed and direction, aiming for a contemporary display voice with an industrial-sport edge.
Uppercase forms are broad-shouldered and compact, while the lowercase stays highly legible through generous apertures and simplified joins. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and slant, maintaining a cohesive, headline-ready texture across mixed alphanumeric settings.
