Sans Superellipse Etron 1 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, italic, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Dharma Gothic' and 'Dharma Gothic Rounded' by Dharma Type, 'Galeana' by Latinotype, and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed, strongly slanted sans with heavy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters, giving letters a superelliptical, techno feel rather than purely geometric circles. Terminals are blunt and clean, apertures stay relatively compact, and spacing is economical, producing a dense, rhythmic texture. Numerals follow the same narrow, blocky logic with softened corners and consistent weight.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as posters, headlines, sports and event graphics, packaging, and apparel marks where a compact, powerful word shape is helpful. It can also work for UI labels or signage when used at larger sizes with ample tracking to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is fast and forceful, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests motion and intensity. Its squared curves and compact width read as contemporary and functional, leaning toward sporty and industrial settings rather than editorial refinement.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining a forward-leaning stance with squared, rounded forms to create a modern, speed-oriented display voice.
The design’s rounded-rectangle geometry is especially apparent in bowl letters and in the way corners are softened instead of sharply chamfered. The narrow proportions and condensed sidebearings create strong vertical emphasis, which can amplify impact in short lines but may feel crowded in long text at small sizes.
