Sans Superellipse Olnay 1 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cybersport' by Anton Kokoshka, 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'Estricta' by Graviton, 'Navine' by OneSevenPointFive, and 'Amsi Grotesk' by Stawix (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly squared curves. Strokes are uniform and dense, with large counters and blunt terminals that keep forms sturdy at display sizes. Curves on letters like C, G, O, and S are squared-off into superelliptical arcs, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and stable. Lowercase shapes are simple and workmanlike, with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a straightforward t; numerals are similarly blocky with rounded corners for a consistent, engineered rhythm.
Works best where strong impact and quick recognition matter: headlines, posters, wayfinding and signage, bold branding systems, and packaging. It can also serve UI labels or section headers when a compact, high-presence sans is desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and no-nonsense, with an industrial, technical flavor. Its rounded-square geometry reads confident and functional rather than delicate, giving headlines a firm, signage-like presence.
Likely intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient voice with a distinctly rounded-square geometry, balancing friendliness from softened corners with the authority of dense, uniform strokes. The consistent superelliptical construction suggests a focus on systematized shapes that stay clear and recognizable in prominent, graphic uses.
The design leans on tight internal shaping and wide, softened corners to maintain clarity despite the heavy weight. Round letters keep a slightly condensed, vertical feel, and the punctuation and figures visually match the same squared-round logic, helping mixed text feel cohesive.
