Sans Superellipse Tilar 1 is a regular weight, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Framer Sans' by June 23, 'DIN Next' and 'DIN Next Paneuropean' by Monotype, and 'Cervo' by Typoforge Studio (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, monoline sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared counters. Strokes are mostly even and upright, but the outlines have subtle wobble and ink-trap-like notches that create a slightly rough, printed texture. Terminals are blunt and rounded, curves stay taut rather than fully circular, and joins can look pinched, giving the letterforms a stamped, workmanlike rhythm. Numerals follow the same narrow, compact proportions with straightforward, legible shapes.
Well suited to condensed headlines, poster copy, and packaging/label typography where a rugged, industrial flavor is desirable. It can also work for brand marks and short editorial callouts that benefit from a narrow footprint and a tactile, print-like presence.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and slightly vintage, like lettering from labels, stencils, or old packaging reproduced through imperfect printing. Its controlled geometry keeps it orderly, while the roughened edges add grit and a human, analog warmth.
The design appears intended to blend rounded-rect geometry with a deliberately imperfect finish, offering a compact sans that feels both constructed and human. It aims for high impact in display settings while maintaining straightforward letter recognition.
Spacing reads compact and consistent, supporting dense setting without feeling brittle. The tight interior spaces and textured edges suggest it will look best when allowed a bit of size or breathing room, where the inkiness can be appreciated rather than filling in.
