Sans Superellipse Luly 7 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Gala' by Canada Type, 'Miso' by Mårten Nettelbladt, 'Core Mellow' by S-Core, and 'Sugo Pro' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, rounded sans with thick, even strokes and corners that resolve into soft, superellipse-like curves. The overall geometry leans toward rounded-rectangle construction, producing smooth bowls and closed counters that stay consistent across the set. Terminals are blunt and rounded, with minimal contrast and a steady rhythm that reads cleanly at display sizes. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy, and the numerals follow the same softened, blocky logic for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, packaging, and branding where a compact, bold presence is needed without harsh edges. It can work well for logos and wordmarks that benefit from a rounded-rectangle aesthetic, and for short UI labels or signage where a friendly, sturdy tone is desired. Longer text is possible, but it performs most confidently in display and short-copy settings.
The tone is upbeat and approachable, with a distinctly retro sign-paint and mid-century flavor. Its soft corners and compact heft feel friendly rather than severe, giving headlines a warm, playful confidence. The consistent rounded geometry also adds a modern, UI-like cleanliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient display voice built from soft, superelliptical forms. By keeping strokes uniform and corners generously rounded, it aims for consistent impact and a friendly, contemporary-retro personality across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
The narrow-ish proportions and tight internal spaces create a dense, poster-ready color on the page. Round letters maintain a squarish silhouette, while diagonals (like in V/W/X) keep the same rounded, blunt-ended treatment to avoid sharpness. Overall spacing appears even and controlled, supporting short bursts of text without looking fussy.
