Sans Superellipse Pidar 1 is a bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Kicker FC' by Arkitype, 'Allerton' by Jeff Levine, 'Rakita' and 'Ralirko' by Pandeka Studio, and 'Raviona' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, tightly condensed sans with uniform stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves and joins are softened with generous corner radii, giving counters a pill-shaped, superelliptical feel. Vertical emphasis is strong, horizontals are short and sturdy, and terminals are consistently rounded, producing a clean, rhythmic texture. Spacing is compact and the overall silhouette stays narrow while still maintaining clear interior apertures and distinct numerals.
Best suited to display work where height and compression help fit long words into tight spaces—posters, headlines, packaging panels, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for logos and wordmarks that benefit from a compact, vertically driven silhouette.
The tone is bold and utilitarian with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It suggests vintage signage and streamlined industrial design—confident, compact, and slightly playful rather than austere.
Likely intended as a characterful condensed display sans that pairs strong, uniform strokes with softened geometry for a modern-retro feel. The consistent rounded construction aims to deliver high impact at larger sizes while keeping forms approachable and highly consistent across the alphabet and figures.
The design relies on repeated rounded-rect geometry for bowls and counters, which keeps the set visually cohesive and gives text a distinctive “stacked” rhythm in lines. The condensed proportions make vertical strokes dominate, so the font reads best when allowed some tracking and breathing room in longer passages.
