Sans Superellipse Ogrik 4 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Coastal' by Arkitype, 'Refinery' by Kimmy Design, 'POLIGRA' by Machalski, and 'Brumder' by Trustha (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with a distinctly squared, rounded-rectangle construction across curves and counters. Strokes are monoline and uniform, with tight apertures and small, rectangular-ish internal spaces that keep the texture dense. Terminals are generally blunt with softened corners, giving forms a machined, stamped feel rather than a geometric purity. The proportions are tall and compressed, with short extenders in the lowercase and simplified, sturdy numeral shapes that read clearly at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where dense, high-impact letterforms are desirable. It can also work for logotypes and short UI labels that need a strong, compact presence, especially when set with ample tracking and generous line spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian—more signage and equipment labeling than refined editorial. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly softness to an otherwise tough, industrial voice, suggesting a retro display attitude without becoming playful or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep curves cohesive and to avoid sharp, fragile details. It prioritizes bold legibility and a consistent, engineered texture for display-driven typography.
The font maintains a consistent superelliptical rhythm in bowls and curves (notably in C, O, and related forms), and the tight spacing in the sample text produces a solid, poster-like block of color. Lowercase forms stay compact and workmanlike, with minimal flourish and a strong emphasis on uniformity.
