Sans Superellipse Lodul 9 is a bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Gala' by Canada Type, 'Ando' and 'Ando Round' by JCFonts, 'Aureola' by OneSevenPointFive, and 'Core Mellow' by S-Core (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, monoline sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with straight vertical stems and softly radiused corners throughout. Curves tend to resolve into squarish bowls and counters, giving letters like O, C, and G a superelliptical, “pill” profile rather than a true circle. Terminals are consistently rounded, apertures stay fairly tight, and the overall rhythm is tall and compact with narrow widths and even stroke color. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, single-storey construction where applicable, and figures follow the same narrow, rounded-rect logic for a cohesive texture in text and numerals.
Well suited to display roles where a compact, high-impact voice is needed—headlines, posters, wordmarks, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It can also work for short UI labels or editorial subheads where space is tight and a distinctive, softened-industrial texture is desired.
The tone feels retro-modern and functional, combining a softened, approachable edge with a machine-like modularity. Its compressed proportions and squared curves evoke signage, labeling, and mid-century/industrial display typography while remaining clean and contemporary.
The likely intention is a space-efficient condensed sans with a rounded-rect construction, aiming for a distinctive modular silhouette that feels both friendly and engineered. By keeping strokes uniform and corners consistently radiused, it delivers a cohesive, branded look that stands out at larger sizes.
The design leans heavily on verticals and uniform curvature, creating a strong, repeating pattern that reads especially distinctive in all-caps. Narrow counters and rounded joins emphasize a compact, high-density look, which can increase impact in headlines while making long passages feel darker and more rhythmic.
