Sans Superellipse Olbum 7 is a very bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Grillmaster' by FontMesa; 'Frontage Condensed' by Juri Zaech; and 'Angmar', 'Delonie', and 'Headpen' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with strongly compressed proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes stay largely even in thickness, with blunt terminals and softened corners that keep the shapes from feeling sharp. Counters are small and apertures tend to be narrow, giving letters a dense, ink-heavy texture; round glyphs read more like squarish ovals than circles. The lowercase has a tall presence relative to the capitals, and forms like the single-storey a/g and the straight-sided m/n reinforce a simplified, engineered rhythm. Numerals follow the same sturdy, compressed logic with firm vertical stress and minimal detailing.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and labeling where space is limited but strong emphasis is needed—such as posters, signage, packaging callouts, and sports or industrial-themed branding. It can work for UI labels or navigation in larger sizes where its dense forms remain clear, but it is less comfortable for extended body text.
The overall tone is forceful and workmanlike, with a punchy, attention-grabbing presence. Its rounded corners add a slightly friendly, contemporary edge, but the dominant impression remains sturdy, no-nonsense, and built for impact in tight horizontal spaces.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and clarity in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms robust and consistent. It prioritizes bold presence, compact word shapes, and straightforward construction over delicate detail.
At text sizes the tight counters and condensed width can make long passages feel dense, while headlines retain strong legibility and a consistent silhouette. The design favors verticals and rectangular curves, producing a uniform, poster-like color across lines.
