Sans Superellipse Porej 1 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Beachwood' and 'Goodland' by Swell Type, 'Heroic Condensed' by TypeTrust, and 'Ggx89' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A tall, tightly set sans with heavy, monoline strokes and softly squared curves. Rounds are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters an oblong, superelliptical feel and keeping terminals clean and blunt rather than tapered. The uppercase is compact and vertical, while lowercase forms stay narrow with simple, sturdy construction; bowls, shoulders, and joints are simplified to maintain a consistent, blocky rhythm. Numerals follow the same condensed, squared-round logic for a uniform, sign-like texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, cover lines, packaging panels, and wayfinding or label-style signage. It can work in compact layouts where vertical space is limited and strong contrast against a background is needed, while longer text benefits from generous tracking and leading.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial flavor. Its squared softness reads both friendly and mechanical—like labeling, equipment marks, or condensed headline type that prioritizes clarity and punch.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compressed footprint, using rounded-square geometry to keep forms sturdy and legible while projecting a pragmatic, industrial character.
The narrow proportions create strong vertical cadence and dark, continuous word shapes, especially in mixed-case text. Round letters such as O/Q and bowls in b/d/p/q emphasize the superellipse theme, while straight-sided letters keep the set feeling engineered and systematic.
