Sans Superellipse Olmeh 6 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Broadside' by Device, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' by Monotype, 'Born Strong' by Rook Supply, 'Ddt' by Typodermic, and 'Hockeynight Sans' by XTOPH (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared corners throughout. Strokes are uniform and dense, with tight internal counters and sturdy, mostly straight-sided bowls that read as superelliptical rather than fully circular. The fit is economical, emphasizing verticality and a strong rectangular silhouette; terminals are blunt and corners are consistently radiused. Lowercase forms stay simple and closed, with short ascenders/descenders relative to the letter height, and figures share the same blocky, tightly set geometry.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, labels, and wayfinding where a compact, emphatic voice is needed. It can work well for sports and industrial branding, product packaging, and bold UI callouts, especially when set with a bit of extra tracking to open up the tight counters.
The overall tone is forceful and practical, with a poster-like punch that feels engineered and no-nonsense. Its rounded squareness adds a friendly, retro-technical flavor without losing the authoritative, signage-driven impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a condensed footprint, using superelliptical, rounded-square forms to balance toughness with approachability. Its simplified geometry and blunt terminals aim for clear, reproducible shapes that hold up in bold display contexts.
The design relies on consistent corner radii and squarish bowls, producing a cohesive rhythm in all-caps and mixed-case settings. The dense color and small apertures suggest it will perform best when given enough size or spacing to keep counters clear.
