Sans Superellipse Olrem 5 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Fairweather' by Dharma Type, 'Bellfort' by GRIN3 (Nowak), 'Neue Helvetica' by Linotype, and 'Denso Sans' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed sans with heavy, monoline strokes and a compact horizontal footprint. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-round feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with minimal modulation and tight interior spaces that create a dense, dark texture. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders and descenders, and the overall rhythm is vertical and columnar, with straightforward, engineered shapes.
This face performs best in short bursts of text—headlines, subheads, labels, and condensed layout situations where horizontal space is limited. It also suits branding, packaging, and signage systems that benefit from a sturdy, industrial sans with a compact width.
The tone is firm and no-nonsense, with an industrial, signage-like presence. Its narrow, dense silhouette reads as efficient and assertive, suited to messages that need to feel direct and controlled rather than expressive or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a space-saving, high-impact sans that stays highly consistent and mechanical in feel. Its rounded-rectangle construction suggests a deliberate move toward a contemporary, engineered look that remains legible and strong in display settings.
At smaller sizes the tight counters and compact apertures can close up, while at larger sizes the squared-round construction becomes a distinctive stylistic cue. The numerals and capitals carry a strong vertical emphasis that reinforces a poster-like, headline-driven personality.
