Sans Superellipse Jefi 4 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'First Prize' by Letterhead Studio-VG, 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Goodland' by Swell Type, and 'Huberica' by The Native Saint Club (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy display sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry. Strokes are monoline and tightly packed, with flat terminals and softly radiused corners that keep the shapes from feeling harsh. Counters are compact and often vertically oriented, and the overall silhouette favors squared bowls and straight-sided curves. Spacing appears fairly tight, producing a dense texture and strong vertical rhythm, while figures and caps match the same blocky, superelliptical construction for a consistent set.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, branding marks, and bold editorial callouts. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage where a compact footprint and strong presence are desirable. Because the texture is dense, it performs most confidently at medium to large sizes where the tight counters can open up.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of stenciled signage and bold packaging. Its compact width and chunky forms create an energetic, competitive feel that reads as sporty and attention-grabbing rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a compact width, using rounded-rectangle construction to create a cohesive, industrial display voice. The consistent monoline strokes and squared curves suggest an emphasis on strong silhouettes, easy reproduction, and a confident, built-for-purpose aesthetic.
Uppercase forms lean on rectangular bowls (notably in rounded letters) and simplified joins, which reinforces a mechanical, engineered look. The lowercase maintains the same compactness, with short extenders and sturdy joins that keep word shapes uniform and dark. Numerals follow the same squared, rounded-corner logic and sit solidly alongside the letters.
