Sans Superellipse Orlun 4 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'MARLIN' by Komet & Flicker, 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski, 'Ggx89' by Typodermic, and 'Marce' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with compact proportions and a tall, vertical stance. Letterforms are built from straight strokes and rounded-rectangle curves, producing squared counters and softened corners rather than circular bowls. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals read as blunt and firm. Overall rhythm is tight and columnar, with narrow apertures and economical internal space that emphasizes density and impact.
Best suited for headlines, posters, labels, and branding where space is tight but strong presence is needed. It can work well in signage and packaging that benefits from a condensed, high-impact voice. For longer text, it is likely most effective at larger sizes where the tight apertures remain clear.
The tone is direct and forceful, with a utilitarian, industrial feel. Its compressed width and sturdy shapes suggest signage and machinery—serious, no-nonsense, and attention-grabbing without relying on ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a limited horizontal footprint, using squared, rounded-rectangle construction to keep forms consistent and sturdy. It prioritizes bold legibility and a cohesive, engineered texture for display settings.
Round characters such as O/C/G lean toward superelliptical geometry, while diagonals (A, V, W, Y) remain steep and compact, reinforcing the vertical, compressed texture. Numerals match the same blocky construction, keeping the set visually uniform in headings and short statements.
