Sans Superellipse Orgin 6 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Formata' by Berthold, 'Cantiga' by Isaco Type, and 'LFT Etica' by TypeTogether (names referenced only for comparison).

This typeface uses compact, condensed proportions with heavy, uniform strokes and minimal modulation. Curves are built from squarish, superellipse-like geometry: bowls and counters tend toward rounded-rectangle shapes rather than pure circles, and corners feel softened rather than sharp. Apertures are relatively tight, with sturdy internal spaces that stay open at display sizes. The lowercase follows a simplified, sturdy construction with single-storey forms where expected (notably the “a”), and short, weighty terminals that keep the overall silhouette dense and vertical. Numerals match the same blocky rhythm, with consistent stroke thickness and compact width.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where high impact and compact width are useful. It can also work for logo wordmarks and short emphatic UI labels, but its dense shapes and tight apertures make it less ideal for long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is loud and direct, with a utilitarian, engineered feel that reads as sporty and headline-driven. Its condensed heft gives it a confident, no-nonsense presence that can lean retro or industrial depending on color and layout.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a space-efficient width, pairing heavy, uniform strokes with superellipse-based curves to stay bold yet controlled. It aims for a modern, engineered sans look that remains approachable through softened corners and rounded-rectangle counters.
The condensed fit and dense counters create a strong texture in lines of text, especially in all caps. The squarish curves and softened corners add warmth compared to purely rectangular grotesks while maintaining a rigid, vertical rhythm.
