Sans Superellipse Olmif 1 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Quiel' by Ardyanatypes, 'Fairweather' by Dharma Type, 'Parkson' by Rook Supply, 'Cargi' by Studio Principle Type, and 'Agharti' by That That Creative (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with compact proportions and a predominantly vertical stress. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters and bowls a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than circular forms. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation; terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with subtly rounded corners that prevent the face from feeling sharp. Spacing is tight and rhythmic, producing a dense, uniform texture in text while keeping shapes clearly separated.
Best suited to short to medium-length display settings where density and impact are desired, such as headlines, posters, labels, and bold brand marks. It can also work for signage-style applications where tall, condensed forms help fit long words into limited horizontal space while staying visually strong.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, with an industrial, poster-like presence. Its blocky, compressed silhouettes and squared curves evoke pragmatic signage and mid-century display typography, reading as confident and authoritative rather than friendly or delicate.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact footprint, using squared-round construction and heavy strokes to maintain clarity at display sizes. The consistent geometry suggests a focus on robust reproducibility across print and screen contexts where a firm, industrial voice is appropriate.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same compact, engineered construction, and figures follow the same sturdy, condensed logic for a cohesive set. The narrow widths amplify verticality, making lines of text feel tall and packed, while the softened corners keep the darkness from becoming overly harsh.
