Sans Superellipse Idnab 7 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Mega' by Blaze Type, 'OL Newsbytes' by Dennis Ortiz-Lopez, 'Memesique' by Egor Stremousov, 'Akkordeon' by Emtype Foundry, 'PODIUM Soft' by Machalski, and 'Fixture' by Sudtipos (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and a tight footprint. Letterforms are built from straight stems and rounded-rectangle curves, producing squarish counters and softened corners rather than true circles. Strokes are uniform and dense, with short terminals and minimal modulation; joins and curves feel engineered and consistent. The lowercase is large and simplified, with single‑storey forms and firm, geometric bowls, and the figures are chunky with flattened curves that keep their mass in small spaces.
Best suited to display settings where impact and compactness matter: headlines, poster typography, logo lockups, labels, and packaging. It also fits sports and industrial branding systems that need a dense, authoritative wordshape at large sizes.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a utilitarian, industrial edge. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly softness to an otherwise hard-working, no-nonsense voice, recalling vintage signage and athletic or equipment branding.
The design appears intended to maximize visual weight and presence in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep forms readable while maintaining a tough, modern-signage character.
Spacing and internal counters stay tight, creating a strong black texture that holds together in short headlines. The squared-off curves make O/C/G and 0/8/9 feel particularly solid and mechanical, while diagonals (like V/W/X) remain blunt and weighty.
