Sans Superellipse Agrif 12 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Athletic Pro' by Mandarin; 'Denso Sans', 'Sharp Grotesk Latin', and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype; 'Cargi' by Studio Principle Type; and 'Balbek Pro' and 'Balbek Pro Cut' by Valentino Vergan (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, tall sans with rectangular skeletons softened by rounded corners. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, with minimal modulation and mostly flat terminals, producing a sturdy, compressed rhythm. Curves tend to resolve into squared-off bowls and counters, and joins stay clean and geometric, giving letters a disciplined, engineered look across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best used in large sizes where its dense color and condensed stance can deliver impact—headlines, posters, storefront/signage, and bold brand lockups. It can also work for short UI labels or packaging callouts when space is limited and a strong, industrial-modern voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and functional, with a no-nonsense presence that reads as contemporary and slightly industrial. Its condensed proportions and solid color make it feel energetic and directive, suited to attention-grabbing communication rather than delicate nuance.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and economy of space through condensed proportions, heavy uniform strokes, and rounded-rectangular forms that stay friendly while remaining strict and mechanical.
The shapes lean on rounded-rectangle geometry, so round letters (like O/C/G) appear more squared than circular, and the interior counters are relatively tight, reinforcing a dense typographic color. The numerals match the same compact, sturdy construction for consistent tone in mixed text.
