Sans Superellipse Pilaz 6 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Rama Gothic' and 'Rama Gothic Rounded' by Dharma Type, 'Compilation Grotesk' by Estudio Calderon, and 'Tungsten' by Hoefler & Co. (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with tightly packed proportions and a pronounced vertical emphasis. Strokes are essentially monoline, with squared terminals and softly rounded outer corners that give curves a rounded-rectangle/superellipse feel. Counters are small and sturdy, apertures are relatively closed, and curves resolve into straight segments quickly, creating a crisp, engineered rhythm. Overall spacing reads tight and efficient, producing dense texture in words and strong silhouette clarity at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact lines where its dense weight and compressed width can maximize presence in limited space. It performs well for posters, packaging callouts, signage, and bold brand marks where a strong, industrial sans impression is desired.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, with an industrial, no-nonsense voice. Its compressed heft feels attention-grabbing and functional rather than friendly, suggesting urgency, impact, and modern signage energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility in a space-saving footprint, combining a compact condensed structure with rounded-rectangle curves for a modern, engineered character.
Round letters like O/C/G show a squarish curve logic, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) remain sharply cut and compact, reinforcing a mechanical, constructed look. Numerals follow the same condensed, block-forward logic for consistent color in mixed text.
