Sans Superellipse Pimus 10 is a bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Elephantmen Greater & Taller' by Comicraft, 'EFCO Growers' by Ilham Herry, 'Aureola' by OneSevenPointFive, and 'Bitcrusher' and 'Bitcrusher Variable' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and a strongly squared, rounded-rectangle construction. Corners and terminals are consistently softened, producing superellipse-like bowls and counters that feel engineered rather than calligraphic. Vertical stems dominate, with compact sidebearings and minimal protrusions, creating an efficient, stacked rhythm in text. Counters tend toward narrow, rounded rectangles; diagonals (as in K, V, W, X) are straight and crisp, while curves resolve into squarish arcs. Numerals follow the same condensed, rounded-rect geometry, keeping a uniform color and a tall, compact footprint.
Well suited to space-conscious headlines, posters, and branding where a tall, condensed voice is needed without losing presence. It can work effectively for packaging and signage systems that benefit from a clean, industrial tone, as well as UI-style graphics or titles that aim for a retro-tech feel.
The font conveys a streamlined, technical attitude with a distinctly retro-futurist edge—equal parts industrial signage and sci‑fi interface. Its dense, upright stance reads assertive and controlled, with a slightly playful feel coming from the rounded corners and squarish curves.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact and economy of space through a condensed width and a consistent rounded-rect geometry. The emphasis on verticality, tight counters, and softened corners suggests an intention to feel modern and engineered while retaining a distinctive display personality.
The design maintains a disciplined, modular consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, favoring straight-sided forms and tight apertures. In longer lines, it produces strong vertical striping and an even texture, making it visually punchy at display sizes while remaining compact in width.
