Sans Superellipse Olmik 9 is a bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'North Block' by BoxTube Labs, 'Cord Nuvo' by Designova, 'Refinery' by Kimmy Design, 'Conthey' by ROHH, and 'Buyan' by Yu Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, vertically oriented sans with squared, superellipse-like bowls and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are even and sturdy, with tight apertures and a generally closed, engineered feel in letters like C, S, and e. Curves resolve into flattened, rectangular arcs rather than true circles, and terminals are blunt with softened edges. Counters are tall and narrow, proportions are condensed, and the overall rhythm is uniform and strongly modular across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Works best for short-to-medium text settings where a strong, compact voice is needed—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging panels, and signage. It also suits UI or display treatments that benefit from a technical, modular look, especially when set with ample tracking or at larger sizes where the rounded-rect geometry is most apparent.
The tone is utilitarian and modern, with a subtle retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of labeling, equipment markings, and streamlined sci‑fi interfaces. Its compressed geometry and squared curves read as efficient and controlled, projecting clarity and authority rather than warmth or calligraphic personality.
The design appears intended to combine condensed economy with a highly standardized, rounded-rect form language, producing a sturdy display sans that feels engineered and contemporary. It prioritizes uniform stroke weight, tight apertures, and consistent corner rounding to create a cohesive, system-like texture across characters.
Numerals and uppercase forms maintain a consistent, sign-like construction that emphasizes verticality and compact spacing, helping the design hold together in dense settings. The squared curves and tight openings can make similar shapes feel closer at small sizes, while larger sizes highlight its distinctive rounded-rectangle construction.
