Sans Superellipse Okmeh 4 is a bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Cream Opera' by Factory738, 'MVB Diazo' by MVB, 'Dealerplate' and 'Ggx89' by Typodermic, and 'Buyan' by Yu Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed sans with monoline-like strokes and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into softly squared terminals, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel rather than circular. Proportions are compact with tight interior spaces and consistently rounded corners; many forms show simplified geometry and closed apertures, especially in letters like S, e, and a. The lowercase uses single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a compact, slightly squared-off dot on i/j; numerals follow the same rounded-rect rhythm with a narrow, footless 1 and tightly enclosed 8.
Well suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and product labels where a compact, space-saving voice is needed. It can work for signage and wayfinding-style applications at sizes that keep counters open and letterforms distinct, and it excels in short UI-style labels or badges where dense, sturdy forms are desirable.
The overall tone is functional and no-nonsense, with a subtly retro, engineered flavor reminiscent of labeling, stencils-without-breaks, and mid-century display typography. Its condensed stance and squared rounding convey efficiency and clarity more than friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly compact sans that stays legible and consistent by relying on rounded-rectangle geometry and simplified, closed forms. Its uniform stroke and repeated corner logic suggest an emphasis on reproducibility and strong typographic color in display use.
The design leans on repeated verticals and consistent corner radii, creating strong texture in blocks of text. In longer setting the tight apertures and condensed counters can make dark areas build up, so it visually favors larger sizes and short lines where its shape language reads crisply.
