Sans Superellipse Pimag 5 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Etrusco Now' by Italiantype, 'Poster Sans' by K-Type, 'Monopol' by Suitcase Type Foundry, and 'Polate Soft' by Typesketchbook (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed sans with tall proportions, uniform stroke weight, and rounded-rectangle construction that keeps curves smooth and corners softened. Counters are relatively tight and verticals dominate, creating a compact, columnar rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Terminals are mostly squared with slight rounding, and the overall geometry favors straight-sided forms with superelliptical bowls, producing a clean, engineered silhouette. Figures follow the same narrow, tall pattern, reading clearly at display sizes with a strong, even color on the line.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and signage where a lot of impact is needed in limited horizontal space. It also works well for packaging, labels, and bold UI callouts that benefit from a compact, high-density word shape and clear, sturdy numerals.
The font projects a firm, no-nonsense tone—functional and industrial, with a contemporary, slightly retro poster sensibility. Its condensed stance and dense black presence feel emphatic and attention-driven, suited to messaging that needs to look direct and controlled rather than delicate or expressive.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compressed footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry and even strokes to maintain clarity and consistency. The goal is a strong, contemporary display voice that remains systematic and legible while looking distinctive in tight, vertical settings.
The narrow widths and compact counters create a strong vertical cadence and can look dense in longer passages, especially where round letters and diagonals cluster. The consistent rounding keeps the design from feeling harsh, balancing the heavy presence with a softened, manufactured finish.
