Sans Superellipse Ogrid 12 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Morgan Tower' by Feliciano, 'Beachwood' and 'Hyperspace Race Capsule' by Swell Type, 'Bitcrusher' by Typodermic, and 'Winner Sans' by sportsfonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, tightly set sans with tall proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with corners softened into rounded terminals that keep the forms from feeling sharp despite the dense weight. Many letters are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squarish bowls and counters (notably in O/C/D/P) and a consistent, engineered silhouette. The overall spacing and internal counters are narrow, emphasizing a stacked, columnar texture in text.
Best suited to short bursts of text where a strong, compressed voice is desired—headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and wayfinding or labeling. It can also work in branding systems that need a compact wordmark and consistent impact across mixed-case and numerals.
The font projects an industrial, no-nonsense tone with a hint of retro display character. Its condensed build and squared curves feel like labeling, equipment marking, or poster typography—confident, direct, and slightly mechanical.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact and space efficiency while maintaining a controlled, geometric consistency. Rounded corners and squarish curves suggest an intention to evoke sturdy, manufactured forms without becoming harsh, making it a practical display face for bold messaging.
The design’s rounded corners and superelliptic curves help maintain legibility at larger sizes while preserving a rigid, modular feel. Numerals and uppercase share the same compact, upright stance, giving mixed content (text plus numbers) a uniform, sign-like presence.
