Sans Superellipse Byruh 4 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Coign' by Colophon Foundry, 'Hype Vol 1' and 'Hype vol 2' by Positype, and 'Heading Now' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and a strong vertical emphasis. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel (notably in O/C/D/Q and the numerals). Terminals are mostly flat and clean, with squared joins and minimal modulation, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. The lowercase is similarly narrow and linear, with compact counters and simplified shapes; round letters (a, e, o) stay upright and compressed, while vertical stems dominate across the set.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and titling where a compact footprint and strong vertical presence are desirable. It can work well for branding and packaging systems that want a streamlined, industrial-modern voice, as well as signage or labels where tall condensed forms help fit longer words into tight spaces.
The overall tone is assertive and modernist, with a slightly retro display flavor reminiscent of mid-century signage and editorial condensed headlines. Its rigid proportions and rounded-rectilinear curves feel functional and architectural rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing strict condensed proportions with rounded-rectangle curves for a distinctive, systematized look. The intent reads as a display sans built for crisp, high-contrast layout moments without relying on decorative details.
The design maintains a consistent narrow texture across text, creating strong word-shape silhouettes and a dense typographic color. Numerals follow the same elongated, rounded-rectangular construction, supporting cohesive use in titles and data-forward display settings.
