Sans Superellipse Pobab 4 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Trump Gothic Pro' by Canada Type, 'Masifa' and 'Masifa Rounded' by Hurufatfont, 'Entropia' by Slava Antipov, and 'Agharti' by That That Creative (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, tightly spaced sans with monoline strokes and strongly condensed proportions. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms rather than pure circles, giving bowls and counters a squared-yet-soft geometry. Terminals are clean and flat, joins are crisp, and the overall silhouette is tall and disciplined, with a generous x-height that keeps lowercase forms prominent. Numerals follow the same narrow, vertical rhythm, maintaining consistent stroke weight and compact counters.
Best suited to display settings where space is limited but impact is needed, such as headlines, posters, and compact branding lockups. It can work for signage and packaging where a tall, condensed voice helps fit more characters per line, while the high x-height supports legibility at moderate sizes.
The tone is direct and workmanlike, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its tall, compressed stance feels urban and engineered, balancing hardness from the squared curves with approachability from the rounded corners.
This design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient voice with a modern, systematized geometry. The rounded-rectangle construction and consistent stroke behavior suggest an emphasis on clarity, density, and contemporary industrial character.
The typeface maintains a steady vertical cadence across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a dense texture in paragraphs and punchy emphasis in short strings. The rounded-rectangular construction is especially noticeable in rounded letters and in the way curves transition into straighter sides, which reads as modern and systematic rather than humanist.
