Sans Superellipse Pogar 9 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Choxr' by Almarkha Type, 'Late Breaking News JNL' by Jeff Levine, 'Agharti' by That That Creative, and 'Diverge Variable' by Vishnu Sathyan (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed sans with heavy, monoline strokes and tightly controlled proportions. Curves are squarish and rounded-rectangle in feel, giving bowls and counters a compressed, superelliptic geometry. The overall rhythm is strongly vertical, with short crossbars, narrow apertures, and compact spacing that keeps words dense and tall on the line. Details like the pointed joins in V/W and the small, enclosed counters in letters such as a/e/s reinforce a sturdy, poster-oriented construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where a strong condensed voice is needed and space is limited. It can work well for packaging and branding systems that favor a tall, compact wordmark-like presence. For long passages, it will generally perform better at larger sizes where counters and apertures stay clearly open.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, projecting urgency and strength through its tight width and tall stance. Its compressed, squared curves add a retro-industrial flavor, reading as practical rather than delicate or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact horizontal footprint, using squared-off, rounded forms and a consistent stroke to maintain a cohesive, high-density texture. Its construction prioritizes clarity and punch in display settings while keeping letterforms simple and systematic.
In text, the condensed fit produces strong texture and efficient line length, while the tight interior spaces can darken at smaller sizes. Numerals match the vertical emphasis, appearing narrow and solid with minimal modulation, keeping a consistent, engineered feel alongside the capitals and lowercase.
