Sans Superellipse Olrot 6 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Nomad' by Coniglio Type, 'Tungsten' by Hoefler & Co., 'Grand' by North Type, 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, and 'Cosmic Lager' by Vozzy (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, condensed sans built from squared, rounded-rectangle forms with softened corners and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls (notably in C, O, Q, and 0), while terminals are blunt and vertical stems feel straight and monoline. Counters are tight and apertures are relatively closed, producing a dense texture; diagonals in K, V, W, X, and Y are sturdy and minimally tapered. The overall rhythm is tall and tightly spaced in feel, with a consistent, engineered geometry across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and wayfinding where dense copy needs strong presence. It also fits branding applications that want a compact, industrial voice—especially in packaging, sports/fitness graphics, and bold UI/feature callouts.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with an industrial, signage-like presence. Its condensed, blocky construction reads as confident and slightly retro, evoking workwear labeling, sports numerals, and utilitarian display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight horizontal footprint, using a consistent rounded-rect geometry for clarity and repeatable rhythm. Its closed shapes and blunt terminals prioritize solidity and visual authority over delicacy or open readability at small sizes.
Round characters keep a rectangular footprint, giving the set a cohesive “squared-off” silhouette. The lowercase appears built to match the caps’ compact proportions, and the numerals follow the same boxy logic for strong, uniform emphasis in mixed text.
