Sans Superellipse Olmev 5 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Tusker Grotesk' by Lewis McGuffie Type, 'PG Grotesque' by Paulo Goode, 'Hype Vol 1' by Positype, 'TT Bluescreens' by TypeType, 'Aeternus' by Unio Creative Solutions, and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, tightly set sans with squared, superellipse-like curves and a strongly vertical stance. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal modulation, producing solid, blocky silhouettes and small interior counters. Terminals tend to be flat and blunt, and many curves resolve into rounded-rectangle corners rather than fully circular forms. The overall rhythm is condensed and uniform, with tall proportions and close-looking apertures that emphasize density and impact.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings like headlines, posters, packaging fronts, and signage where compact width and strong presence are priorities. It can also support bold branding moments (e.g., sports, industrial, or utility-themed identities), but the dense counters suggest more caution for small sizes or long passages.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, leaning industrial and headline-driven. Its compressed build and heavy color give it a commanding, assertive voice that reads as practical and workmanlike rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, sans structure. By relying on rounded-rectangle curves and blunt terminals, it aims for a sturdy, modern-industrial feel with consistent, high-ink coverage for attention-grabbing display use.
Round letters such as O/C/G and the bowls in B/P/R show the defining rounded-rectangle geometry, while joins and corners stay firm and squared. Numerals follow the same condensed, blocky construction, keeping a consistent typographic color across mixed text.
