Sans Superellipse Olmif 5 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Cyclone' and 'Knockout' by Hoefler & Co., 'Daily Tabloid JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Agharti' by That That Creative, and 'Blop11' by osialus (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, tightly condensed sans with heavy, monoline strokes and a strong vertical rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms, giving counters and terminals a softened, engineered feel rather than purely geometric circles. Proportions are tall and space-efficient, with narrow sidebearings and sturdy joins that keep shapes crisp at display sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same blocky, rounded-corner logic for a consistent, uniform texture in lines of text.
This font is well suited to high-impact headlines, posters, and signage where vertical economy and strong presence are priorities. It can also work for packaging, labels, and branding systems that want a compact, industrial voice, especially when set with generous line spacing to offset its dense texture.
The overall tone is bold and pragmatic, with an industrial, sports-signage energy. Rounded corners temper the weight, keeping it approachable while still reading as assertive and high-impact.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a condensed build with rounded-rectangle curves to create a sturdy, modern display sans. Its consistent stroke weight and softened corners suggest a balance between hard-edged utility and friendly approachability.
Round letters like C, G, O, and Q show squarish bowls with smoothly radiused corners, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) feel rigid and architectural. The lowercase maintains the same condensed stance and sturdy construction, producing a dense, poster-like color in paragraphs and headlines.
