Sans Superellipse Pimef 14 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Resolve Sans' by Fenotype, 'Neue Plak' and 'Neue Plak Display' by Monotype, 'Lektorat' by TypeTogether, and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with tall proportions and a compact rhythm. Strokes are largely monoline with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and blunt rather than calligraphic. Curves are built from squared-round superellipse shapes, giving counters and bowls a rounded-rectangle feel; this is especially evident in letters like O, C, and D. The lowercase is large relative to capitals, with simple, sturdy constructions and tight interior spaces that emphasize a dark, poster-like texture. Numerals follow the same narrow, vertically oriented logic, maintaining consistent width and strong, uniform weight.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and large typographic statements where space is limited but impact is needed. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefits from a condensed, high-density look, and for sports or entertainment graphics that call for strong, vertical emphasis.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a contemporary industrial edge. Its compressed width and dense color read as urgent and attention-grabbing, leaning toward headline-driven communication rather than quiet text setting.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize visual impact in a narrow footprint, using a superellipse-based geometry to keep shapes consistent and contemporary. The goal seems to be a robust, easily recognizable display sans that holds together in tight, high-contrast layouts.
The design maintains a disciplined verticality across the set, with open apertures kept relatively controlled and counters tending toward small, rounded-rectangular shapes. The ampersand and punctuation shown match the same heavy, compact voice, supporting cohesive display typography.
