Sans Superellipse Ognan 1 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Gotham' by Hoefler & Co., 'Amfibia' and 'Karibu' by ROHH, 'Ansage' by Sudtipos, 'Brilk' by Typesketchbook, and 'Eastman Condensed' by Zetafonts (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with broad strokes and soft, squared-off curves that read as superellipse-like rather than purely circular. Corners are consistently rounded, terminals feel blunt and closed, and counters are generously filled in, creating a dense, poster-ready texture. Proportions are fairly compact with a tall x-height, short extenders, and sturdy verticals; diagonals (as in K, V, W, X) are thick and stable, contributing to an even rhythm across lines. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded-rectangle logic, with simplified interior spaces and strong silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a compact, high-ink presence is desirable. It can work for short UI labels or wayfinding when sizes are sufficiently large and spacing is managed to avoid a too-dark overall color in longer passages.
The overall tone is upbeat and contemporary, with a friendly softness that keeps the weight from feeling aggressive. Its inflated, cushiony shapes suggest casual confidence and a slightly retro, sign-painting-adjacent warmth while still feeling clean and digital.
This font appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a soft-edged, geometric voice—combining dense strokes and rounded-rectangle construction to stay friendly while remaining emphatic and highly legible in display contexts.
The design favors solid silhouettes over delicate detail, making it visually resilient at large sizes and in high-impact settings. Round forms like O and Q stay squarish and controlled, reinforcing a consistent geometric theme across the set.
