Sans Superellipse Ondal 7 is a regular weight, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height, monospaced font visually similar to 'OCR-A AI' by Apply Interactive, 'OCR-A' by Bitstream, 'OCR-A EF' and 'OCR-A EF Pro' by Elsner+Flake, 'OCR A' by Linotype, 'OCR A SB' by Scangraphic Digital Type Collection, and 'OCR-A M' by URW Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A clean, monospaced sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistent stroke thickness. Curves resolve into squared, superelliptic bowls (notably in C, G, O, Q, and numerals), while terminals are blunt and softly radiused, giving the shapes a machined, modular feel. The design favors compact counters and simplified joins; diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are straight and sturdy, and the lowercase combines geometric bowls with pragmatic, squared shoulders. Numerals echo the same rounded-box logic, with a clear, blocky rhythm across the set.
Well-suited to contexts that benefit from strict alignment and predictable spacing, such as code samples, terminal-style interfaces, data tables, and UI labels. The sturdy, rounded-box silhouettes can also work for technical packaging, equipment labeling, and compact headlines where a systematic, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone reads technical and functional, with a retro digital flavor reminiscent of terminals, labeling, and instrumentation. Its rounded corners soften the austerity, keeping it approachable while still feeling precise and engineered.
The design appears intended to provide a disciplined monospaced texture with a distinctive superelliptic geometry, balancing clarity with a recognizable, device-like personality. Its simplified forms and consistent rhythm prioritize uniformity and structured layout over calligraphic nuance.
Distinctive details include a narrow, rounded-rect “O/0” family, a compact double-story-style structure in several lowercase forms, and a noticeably crafted, angular approach to Q and G that reinforces the geometric system. The consistent cell-like spacing and uniform character widths produce an even typographic color in lines of text.
