Sans Superellipse Poday 1 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Neumatic Gothic' and 'Neumatic Gothic Round' by Arkitype and 'Albireo' and 'Albireo Soft' by Cory Maylett Design (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, tightly set sans with tall proportions and a distinctly condensed stance. Strokes appear monolinear with crisp terminals, while curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel. Uppercase forms are narrow and vertical, with minimal modulation and controlled apertures; lowercase follows the same logic with compact bowls and straight-sided arches. Numerals are similarly narrow and sturdy, designed to hold their shape in dense settings.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where space is limited but impact is needed, such as posters, branding lockups, signage, and packaging fronts. It also works well for labels and UI or dashboard headings where a compact footprint and strong vertical rhythm help organize information.
The overall tone is functional and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, industrial edge. Its compressed rhythm and squared-round curves create a confident, engineered feel that reads as modern and slightly retro in a poster-and-signage way rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow width, using squared-round construction to stay geometric and stable while remaining clearly sans in character. It prioritizes compactness, uniform stroke color, and a consistent industrial rhythm for display-oriented typography.
The design leans on straight verticals and tightened interior space, so counters can feel compact in small sizes. Punctuation and diacritics shown in the sample text maintain the same crisp, compressed voice, helping the type stay consistent across headline strings.
