Sans Superellipse Otbuh 1 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'Ki' by Mint Type and 'Fonetika Mono' by Tokotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, monolinear sans built from squared, superellipse-like forms with generously rounded corners. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with tight apertures and simplified joins that keep counters clean at large sizes. Curves on letters like C, G, and S resolve into flattened arcs rather than fully circular bowls, while verticals and horizontals dominate the rhythm for a sturdy, engineered feel. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, with a distinctly boxed zero and a straightforward, slabless construction throughout.
Well-suited to interfaces, dashboards, and product labeling where an even, modular rhythm and high visual solidity are helpful. It also works effectively for headlines, posters, and short paragraphs that benefit from a compact, technical presence, and for code-like or tabular contexts where consistent character spacing is desirable.
The overall tone is pragmatic and mechanical, evoking labeling, instrumentation, and mid-century utilitarian print. Its squared curves and firm weight give it a confident, no-nonsense voice that can read as retro-tech without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable, space-efficient sans with rounded-rect geometry, prioritizing consistency and legibility in dense settings. Its forms lean toward an engineered aesthetic, balancing friendliness from softened corners with the discipline of a modular, boxy skeleton.
Several shapes suggest attention to pixel/print robustness: terminals are blunt, interior spaces stay open, and ambiguous characters are differentiated through more geometric, boxed constructions (notably the zero). The texture is dense and even, producing strong typographic color in blocks of text.
