Sans Superellipse Orlam 15 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Acumin' by Adobe, 'FF Good' and 'FF Good Headline' by FontFont, 'Otoiwo Grotesk' by Pepper Type, 'Aago' by Positype, and 'Althawra Fikra' by syria arabic (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and crisp terminals. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) forms, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than purely circular geometry. The rhythm is tight and efficient, with short apertures and sturdy joins; diagonals are clean and direct, and round letters like O and C read as vertically stressed, rounded blocks. Lowercase forms are straightforward and workmanlike, with a single-storey a and g, firm shoulders, and minimal modulation across the set.
This style is well suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where compact width and strong presence are desirable. It can work effectively for signage, labels, and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, space-saving sans with geometric character.
The overall tone is contemporary and no-nonsense, projecting strength and clarity. Its compact geometry and squared-round curves suggest an industrial, engineered sensibility that feels assertive and functional rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using superelliptic curves and consistent stroke weight to maintain clarity and a cohesive, engineered look across letters and numerals.
The design emphasizes uniform density and consistent stroke weight, producing a dark, stable text color. The superelliptic construction shows most strongly in rounded characters and numerals, where corners are softened but still retain a boxy footprint.
