Sans Superellipse Pikov 7 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Coastal' by Arkitype, 'Angela Love Sans' by Fargun Studio, 'Posterman' by Mans Greback, and 'Raskolnikov' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into squared bowls and softly radiused corners, giving counters a squarish, superellipse feel rather than circular. Terminals are blunt and crisp, apertures are tight, and the overall color is dark and even, with minimal modulation across verticals and horizontals. Spacing is economical and the glyphs read as tall, packed shapes; numerals follow the same blocky logic with sturdy, stacked forms.
Best suited to display sizes where its condensed width and heavy color can maximize impact—headlines, posters, event graphics, sports branding, packaging, and bold UI labels. It can work in short subheads and callouts, but dense spacing and tight apertures make it less ideal for long-form text at small sizes.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, combining a modern, engineered geometry with a slightly retro, billboard sensibility. Its dense silhouettes and squared curves create an assertive, no-nonsense voice that feels athletic, urban, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry and uniform stroke weight to produce a strong, contemporary display voice. It prioritizes bold presence and consistent texture over open counters or delicate detail.
Round letters like O, Q, and G keep a distinctly squared interior and exterior, reinforcing the rounded-rectangle theme throughout. The lowercase maintains the same sturdy, compressed rhythm as the uppercase, helping mixed-case settings stay visually consistent and bold.
