Sans Superellipse Raduw 7 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Arges' by Blaze Type, 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype, 'Hype vol 2' by Positype, and 'Heading Now' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, tightly set sans with extremely elongated vertical proportions and consistently heavy, monoline strokes. Curves are built from squared-off rounds—more like rounded rectangles than circles—giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel. Terminals are blunt and clean, with minimal modulation and crisp joins; interior counters stay narrow, producing a dense, ink-heavy texture. The rhythm is strongly vertical, with tall ascenders/descenders and tightly confined sidebearings that emphasize a stacked, columnar silhouette.
Best suited to large-size applications where a dense, high-impact voice is desired—posters, headlines, mastheads, packaging callouts, and compact signage. It can also work for short subheads and labels where vertical emphasis and tight width help fit more characters into limited space.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with an industrial, headline-forward presence. Its tall, compressed shapes feel modern and urban, leaning toward editorial display and attention-grabbing signage rather than softness or whimsy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a constrained horizontal footprint, pairing bold, monoline construction with squared-round geometry for a clean, contemporary display look.
Round letters such as O/C/G read as rounded-rect forms, and punctuation (notably the period) appears as a small circular dot, reinforcing the geometric construction. Numerals follow the same condensed, vertical logic and maintain the same heavy weight and tight counters for consistency across mixed text.
