Sans Superellipse Idmul 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Akkordeon' by Emtype Foundry, 'Bhelt' by Fateh.Lab, 'Sztos' by Machalski, 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype, and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry and softened corners. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with wide internal counters that stay open despite the weight. Curves and terminals tend toward squared-off rounds rather than circles, giving bowls a superelliptical feel. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short extenders, while overall spacing reads sturdy and tight, creating a dense, poster-ready texture.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings like headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, packaging callouts, and bold brand marks where strong silhouette and quick readability matter. It can also work for UI labels or signage when used sparingly at larger sizes, but its dense color makes it less ideal for long body text.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an athletic and industrial edge. Its rounded block forms keep it approachable and slightly playful, avoiding the severity of hard-edged grotesques while still projecting strength and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with clean, modern construction, combining geometric rounded forms with compact proportions to stay legible and energetic in large-scale display work.
Uppercase forms feel stable and squat, while numerals are similarly hefty and highly legible at large sizes. The overall rhythm is driven by wide vertical stems and simplified joins, producing a consistent, emphatic silhouette across words and lines.
