Sans Superellipse Omlih 4 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Perfume' by Fenotype, 'Backfarm' by Koplexs Studio, 'Core Sans D' by S-Core, 'Nu Sans' by Typecalism Foundryline, and 'Artico' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with monospaced spacing and a visibly engineered, block-and-round construction. Strokes are thick and even, with softened corners and squarish bowls that read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles. Counters are relatively tight, curves transition quickly into straight segments, and terminals are blunt, creating a strong, uniform rhythm. Uppercase forms are tall and condensed; lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey look where applicable, with simple punctuation-like dots and no calligraphic modulation.
Best suited to contexts that benefit from strict alignment and firm presence: coding or terminal-style UI, tabular data, technical readouts, packaging/label systems, and bold editorial headlines that want a retro-industrial monospaced texture.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and workmanlike, with a mildly retro, equipment-label character. Its squared curves and disciplined spacing suggest technical documentation, stamped markings, or industrial signage—clear, assertive, and no-nonsense rather than friendly or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust monospaced sans with a distinctive superellipse construction—prioritizing consistency, compact economy, and strong legibility at a glance in structured, technical layouts.
The monospaced cadence is prominent in text, producing a steady vertical texture and consistent word color. The rounded-rectangle geometry gives the font a distinctive “machine-made” flavor, especially in letters with bowls and in the numerals, which appear designed for solidity over delicacy.
