Sans Superellipse Pidug 1 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'ATF Alternate Gothic' by ATF Collection, 'Final Edition JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Balboa Plus' by Parkinson, and 'Monopol' by Suitcase Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with tightly condensed proportions and a tall lowercase presence. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly blunt with occasional chamfered or slightly notched corners that create a cut-out, poster-like texture. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and S read as squared-off rounds, giving counters a pinched, vertical feel and keeping rhythm dense. The numerals follow the same compressed, block-forward construction for strong, uniform color in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where vertical economy and strong presence are needed. It can also work for packaging, labels, and sports or event graphics that benefit from dense, high-impact typography, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and workmanlike, with a retro-industrial edge. Its narrow stance and squared rounding suggest signage, labels, and bold headlines where impact and urgency matter more than refinement.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, using squared-rounded geometry and subtle corner cuts to keep forms recognizable while adding a distinctive, rugged texture.
Spacing appears intentionally tight to maintain a solid typographic block, while the irregular corner cuts add distinctive texture at display sizes. Lowercase forms stay simple and sturdy, and punctuation in the sample text blends into the same heavy, condensed cadence.
