Sans Superellipse Osgab 7 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Mercurial' by Grype, 'Nasional Sans' by Jetsmax Studio, 'Akko' and 'Klint' by Linotype, and 'Magistral' by ParaType (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed sans with heavy, even stroke weight and tightly controlled proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than circular. Terminals are predominantly blunt and softly rounded, with minimal modulation and a compact rhythm that stacks efficiently in lines. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with single-storey construction where applicable and small, clean apertures that stay legible at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short statements where dense, high-impact letterforms are an advantage. It works well for posters, packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style signage, and can also support bold wordmarks that need a compact footprint.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a subtle retro-industrial flavor. Its compressed width and squared rounding create a punchy, engineered presence that feels direct rather than expressive or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while keeping forms clean and highly consistent. The superelliptical construction and rounded corners suggest a goal of combining an industrial, engineered structure with approachable softness.
Capitals read tall and uniform, producing strong vertical emphasis; round letters like O/Q stay more boxy than circular, reinforcing the mechanical character. Numerals match the same compact, heavy build for a consistent signage-like color across mixed copy.
