Sans Superellipse Sided 10 is a very bold, very narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'EF Radiant' by Elsner+Flake, 'Peridot Latin' by Foundry5, 'Champion Gothic' by Hoefler & Co., 'Early Edition JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Classic Grotesque' by Monotype, and 'Dilemma' by Sudtipos (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, tall display sans with heavy strokes and tightly fitted proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than circular forms. Terminals tend to end in subtle arches and softened corners, and joins stay clean and sturdy with minimal stroke modulation. The overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with narrow apertures and consistent, sturdy interior spaces that hold up well at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where space is limited but impact is needed—posters, billboards, packaging fronts, and wayfinding/signage. It also fits bold, condensed branding systems (including sports and entertainment) where a dense vertical rhythm helps create a strong typographic column.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a slightly retro, signage-like flavor. Its condensed massing and rounded-rectangle curves create a confident, engineered look that feels bold, direct, and attention-grabbing without becoming playful.
The design appears intended to maximize visual weight and presence in a tight horizontal footprint, using superelliptical curves to keep forms friendly and cohesive while maintaining an industrial, block-constructed clarity.
Uppercase forms read especially monumental due to the tall proportions and compact widths, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-story construction in several letters with clearly separated dots on i/j. Numerals are similarly compact and block-driven, matching the same rounded-corner logic for a cohesive headline system.
