Sans Superellipse Oldoz 4 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Gambler' and 'Hops And Barley' by Fenotype, 'Merchanto' by Type Juice, and 'Heading Now' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, tightly proportioned sans with vertically emphasized forms and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are consistently heavy and largely monoline, with softened corners and squared terminals that create a sturdy, engineered feel. Curves (C, G, O, S) read as superelliptical rather than geometric circles, while straight-sided letters (H, N, U) maintain even rhythm and narrow internal counters. The lowercase is built to match the uppercase’s tall, condensed stance, with simplified shapes and a clean, uniform texture in text.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where a tight, forceful texture is desirable. It also fits packaging, signage, and UI/labeling contexts that benefit from compact width and clear, uniform forms.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, with a compressed, high-impact presence that feels practical and disciplined. Its rounded-rect geometry adds a contemporary, slightly industrial character without becoming playful.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle anatomy and consistent stroke weight to produce a cohesive, industrial-modern voice across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
In the samples, the dense letterfit and narrow counters create strong color and punch at display sizes, while at smaller sizes the compact apertures and heavy strokes can make long passages feel intense. Numerals follow the same condensed, squared-off logic, keeping headings and labels visually consistent across text and figures.
