Sans Superellipse Pimoh 1 is a very bold, very narrow, medium contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Neumatic Compressed' by Arkitype, 'Procerus' by Artegra, and 'Tusker Grotesk' by Lewis McGuffie Type (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface is built from tall, compressed shapes with a strongly vertical stance and compact sidebearings. Strokes read as largely monolinear, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves that keep bowls and counters smooth while corners stay firm rather than calligraphic. Apertures are generally tight and counters are narrow, giving letters a dense, stacked color; terminals are clean and squared-off, and joins favor straight geometry over softness. The overall texture is even and forceful, with consistent widths and a disciplined, engineered rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where impact and vertical economy matter—posters, mastheads, packaging callouts, and bold branding systems. It can also work for sports or event graphics that benefit from a compressed, high-energy typographic voice.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, projecting an industrial, headline-driven attitude. Its compressed proportions and dense black presence feel urban and editorial, leaning toward attention-grabbing display work rather than quiet text setting.
The design intention appears to be maximizing punch and legibility in narrow space by combining tall proportions with sturdy, geometric construction. Rounded-rectangle curves soften the strict verticality just enough to keep forms readable while preserving a hard, graphic presence.
The lowercase forms maintain the same compressed, rectangular logic as the caps, producing a uniform, poster-like color across mixed-case lines. Numerals follow the same narrow, tall construction, supporting consistent alignment in tight layouts where vertical emphasis is desired.
