Sans Superellipse Telof 4 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Motel Xenia' by Fenotype, 'CF Blast Gothic' by Fonts.GR, 'Brown Pro' by Shinntype, and 'Goudar HL' by Stawix (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with squared-off, superellipse-like counters and generously rounded corners. Strokes are thick and fairly even, but the outlines show intentional wobble and roughened edges, creating a printed/inked texture rather than crisp geometry. Curves (O, C, G) read as rounded rectangles, while terminals on letters like E, F, T, and L remain blunt and compact. Spacing is tight and the silhouette is dense, producing strong word shapes with a slightly uneven rhythm due to the distressed contour treatment.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as posters, headlines, labels, packaging, and merch where the bold texture can carry personality. It can also work for brief subheads or pull quotes, especially in layouts aiming for a stamped, vintage-industrial feel; for longer passages, the dense weight and distressed edges may feel visually loud.
The overall tone feels gritty and workmanlike, like stamped lettering or worn screenprint, while still coming across friendly thanks to the rounded forms. It suggests DIY energy and a bold, attention-grabbing voice rather than a polished corporate mood.
The design appears intended to merge compact, rounded-rectangle construction with a deliberately worn ink footprint, creating a strong display sans that reads quickly while projecting a handmade, distressed character.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same sturdy, condensed build, and the figures match the heavy, compact proportions for consistent color in lines of text. The rough contouring is noticeable in both display sizes and paragraph samples, so the texture becomes part of the font’s personality and should be considered in reproduction and background contrast.
