Sans Superellipse Sodan 10 is a very bold, narrow, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Mothem' by Gerobuck and 'Intercom', 'Intercom Devanagari', 'Intercom Kannada', and 'Intercom Tamil' by Indian Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves and firm, squared terminals. Strokes are thick and consistent, with tight interior counters that make the letterforms feel dense and economical. Curves on O/C/G and the bowls of B/P/R are smoothly rounded but held in by a boxy silhouette, while straight-sided forms (E/F/H/I/N) read as rigid and vertical. The lowercase keeps the same chunky construction with single-story a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a sturdy, high-waisted t; numerals are equally blocky, with a flat-topped 1 and rounded, compact 0/8/9.
Best suited to short, prominent text where weight and compression help maximize impact—headlines, posters, labels, and bold brand marks. It can also work for large-scale wayfinding or display signage where the simplified, rounded-block forms read quickly.
The overall tone is forceful and attention-grabbing, with a confident, no-nonsense rhythm. Its condensed heft and rounded corners evoke utilitarian signage and sports branding, balancing toughness with a friendly, softened geometry.
The design intention appears to be a high-impact display sans that saves horizontal space while maintaining a strong, geometric presence. Rounded corners and superellipse-like bowls soften the mass, aiming for a modern, approachable alternative to purely squared grotesques.
Spacing appears relatively tight in text, reinforcing a packed, high-density color on the page. The combination of square structure and rounded corners gives it a distinctive ‘soft-block’ personality that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
