Sans Superellipse Olmag 6 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Festivo Letters' by Ahmet Altun, 'Resident' by Fenotype, 'MVB Diazo' by MVB, 'Miso' by Mårten Nettelbladt, and 'Merchanto' by Type Juice (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark letterforms and strong vertical emphasis. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters, and many terminals read as subtly rounded slabs rather than sharp cuts. Proportions are tight with narrow internal spaces, while capitals sit sturdy and uniform; the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike structure with single-storey forms and short extenders.
Best suited to short-form display typography such as headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can work for subheads and callouts where a dense, compact rhythm is helpful, but it is less ideal for long passages of small text due to its tight apertures and heavy color.
The overall tone feels bold and approachable, mixing a utilitarian sign-painting solidity with a slightly quirky, retro friendliness. Its squarish rounds and chunky presence give it a confident, upbeat voice that reads as informal and attention-seeking rather than refined.
Likely drawn to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint while keeping a friendly, rounded-rect geometry. The design prioritizes strong silhouette and consistent texture for attention-grabbing display use.
Digits and capitals appear especially strong and compact, helping maintain even color in display settings. At smaller sizes the tight counters may fill in visually, so the design is most effective when given enough size and breathing room.
