Sans Superellipse Pymop 5 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Hagia Pro' by Studio Fat Cat, 'Nuber Next' by The Northern Block, and 'Lektorat' by TypeTogether (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, monolinear sans with strongly vertical proportions and squared-round (superellipse-like) curves. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with compact counters and tight apertures that keep forms dense and efficient. Rounds (C, O, S) read as rounded-rectangular rather than purely circular, while joins and terminals stay clean and unornamented. The lowercase uses a single-storey a and g, with short, functional arms and minimal modulation; numerals follow the same narrow, upright rhythm for a cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to space-efficient display settings where you need maximum impact in a narrow measure—headlines, posters, editorial titling, packaging, and wayfinding. It can also work for short UI labels or dashboards where a compact, punchy label style is desirable, rather than extended body copy.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, with an industrial, engineered feel. Its compressed width and dense shapes convey urgency and confidence, reading more like signage and headlines than a relaxed reading face.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-density sans for attention-grabbing typography, pairing uniform stroke weight with superellipse-like curves to keep the voice contemporary and functional while remaining visually distinctive.
The condensed fit creates a strong vertical cadence and high word-shape contrast, especially in mixed case. The tight interior space in letters like e, a, s, and 8 suggests it will appear darkest in small sizes or on coarse output, while at larger sizes the squared-round geometry becomes a defining stylistic cue.
