Sans Superellipse Poras 4 is a very bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Linotype Freytag' by Linotype, 'OTC Underground' by OTC, 'Aureola' by OneSevenPointFive, 'Koroleva Umka' by Umka Type, and 'Matricule 59' by designdefontes (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed sans with tall, compact proportions and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, while corners and curves resolve into rounded-rectangle, superellipse-like forms that keep counters tight and geometric. Terminals are blunt and squared off, and round letters take on an oval-with-flat-sides silhouette rather than fully circular bowls. The overall texture is dense and uniform, showing clear, sturdy shapes with minimal contrast and a disciplined, engineered construction.
Best suited for display settings where density and impact matter, such as posters, headlines, branding marks, and packaging. It also works well for signage and short UI labels when you want a compact, high-contrast presence in limited horizontal space.
The font reads bold and utilitarian, with a distinctly industrial, signage-like confidence. Its condensed geometry and squared curves evoke retro technical labeling and modern display branding at the same time, giving it a tough, no-nonsense tone.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a narrow footprint, using superelliptical rounding to soften an otherwise hard-edged, engineered skeleton. The consistent stroke weight and compact proportions suggest a focus on strong legibility and a distinctive, industrial-flavored personality in large sizes.
Uppercase forms feel particularly tall and commanding, and the tight apertures/counters create a punchy, compact color on the page. Numerals share the same blocky, rounded-rectangle logic, reinforcing a cohesive, mechanical system across letters and figures.
