Sans Superellipse Pimin 1 is a very bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Procerus' by Artegra, 'Metro Block' by Ghozai Studio, 'Debar' by Prominent and Affluent, and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, tightly packed display sans with tall, compressed proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are largely uniform, with minimal contrast and squared-off terminals softened by curved corners. Counters are narrow and often vertically oriented, giving letters a slit-like interior and a strong, continuous black texture. Curves tend to resolve into superelliptical bowls and arches, while joins and apertures stay compact, producing a dense, high-impact rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where maximum impact and compact width are useful—posters, covers, signage, and bold brand marks. It can also work well in packaging and sports/entertainment graphics where a dense, energetic typographic voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and forceful, with a utilitarian, industrial flavor. Its compressed geometry and enclosed counters create a dramatic, slightly retro headline feel that reads as commanding and no-nonsense rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography in a compressed footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep the forms cohesive and recognizable while maintaining an aggressively dark, unified texture.
The font’s narrow counters and tight internal spaces make it most effective at larger sizes, where its rounded-rect geometry and distinctive silhouette are easiest to appreciate. In longer lines, the dense color and compact apertures create a strong wall-of-type effect that can feel intentionally intense.
