Sans Superellipse Oslik 5 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Molde' by Letritas, 'Opinion Pro' by Mint Type, 'Helvetica Now' by Monotype, 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, and 'Hype Vol 1' by Positype (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with superellipse geometry: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, and curves transition quickly into straight segments. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, even texture in text. Apertures are relatively tight and terminals are blunt, with squared corners softened by consistent radii. Proportions lean tall in the lowercase, with a large x-height and short ascenders/descenders that keep lines visually solid and space-efficient.
Well-suited for headlines, brand marks, packaging, and signage where a strong, compact presence is needed. It can also work for UI labels and navigation at larger sizes, especially when you want a sturdy geometric voice with softened edges.
The overall tone is contemporary and assertive, with an engineered, no-nonsense feel. Rounded corners temper the mass, adding approachability while keeping the voice direct and punchy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a geometric, rounded-rectilinear construction that stays consistent across the alphabet. It aims to balance a technical, modern structure with friendliness through softened corners and a stable, low-modulation stroke.
In setting, the dark color and tight internal spacing favor larger sizes and short runs, where the superellipse construction reads clearly. Numerals and capitals maintain the same squared-round logic, supporting a cohesive, logo-like silhouette across mixed-case lines.
