Sans Superellipse Pynot 13 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Mako' by Deltatype, 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, 'Kuunari' and 'Kuunari Rounded' by Melvastype, 'Breuer Condensed' by TypeTrust, and 'Burpee' by Yock Mercado (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry throughout. Strokes are monolinear with tight apertures and firm, squared terminals softened by consistent corner rounding. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and Q read as squarish ovals, creating a disciplined, engineered rhythm. Lowercase forms are sturdy and space-efficient, with a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders that keep lines dense and even; counters remain clear but restrained. Numerals and capitals share the same condensed, blocklike build, producing strong vertical emphasis and stable word shapes at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and brand marks where density and impact are helpful. It can also work for short bursts of UI or navigation text when a strong, condensed voice is desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and functional, leaning toward an industrial, signage-like voice. Its squared-round shaping feels contemporary and engineered rather than friendly, giving text a confident, no-nonsense presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a consistent, modular silhouette. Its superelliptical curves and softened corners aim to balance a tough, industrial structure with a controlled, contemporary finish.
The punctuation and small details (dots, joins, and interior corners) follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, reinforcing a cohesive system. Because the forms are compact with tight internal spaces, the design reads most cleanly when given enough size or generous tracking.
