Sans Superellipse Pobus 6 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Kaneda Gothic' by Dharma Type, 'Molde' by Letritas, 'Hype vol 2' by Positype, and 'Ggx89' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and compact sidebearings, designed around rounded-rectangle curves and straight, vertical stems. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal modulation, producing a dense, even color in text. Counters are small and squarish, terminals are mostly blunt, and joins are crisp, giving letters a sturdy, engineered feel. The overall rhythm is vertical and compressed, with capitals and numerals reading as especially monolithic in silhouette.
Best used for headlines, subheads, and short bursts of text where space is limited but impact is needed. It fits well in posters, packaging, labels, and signage systems that benefit from compact width and strong contrast against background space. In longer passages, it will read most comfortably at larger sizes due to its dense counters and tight fit.
The font conveys a pragmatic, no-nonsense tone with a strong voice, suited to attention-grabbing communication. Its compressed geometry and heavy presence feel modern and industrial rather than friendly, lending an assertive, poster-like character.
The design appears intended to maximize presence and economy of width while maintaining a clean, geometric construction. Its superelliptical curves and blunt terminals suggest a deliberate, contemporary display sans aimed at bold editorial and commercial applications.
Round letters (such as O/C) show superelliptical squareness rather than perfect circles, and the narrow apertures and counters heighten the sense of density. Numerals share the same condensed, blocky construction, supporting a consistent typographic palette for mixed text and figures.
