Sans Superellipse Osgej 4 is a bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'FF Nort Headline' by FontFont, 'Peridot Latin' and 'Peridot PE' by Foundry5, and 'Neue Plak' and 'Neue Plak Display' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

This is a condensed, heavy sans with a squared-off, superellipse construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles rather than pure circles. Strokes stay uniform with minimal modulation, producing a dense, even color in text. Terminals are largely flat and cut cleanly, with tight apertures and compact internal spaces; curves are firm and controlled, and diagonals (as in A, V, W, Y) feel sturdy rather than sharp. The lowercase follows the same blocky logic with short extenders and a practical, compact rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and wayfinding where space is limited but presence is needed. It can also work for branding systems that want a compact, industrial voice, while longer passages may benefit from generous size and line spacing to keep counters from closing in.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a no-nonsense, engineered feel. Its condensed heft communicates efficiency and strength, leaning toward industrial and contemporary branding rather than friendly or delicate expression.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight width, using superellipse geometry and uniform strokes to create a strong, efficient silhouette. Its consistent, squared-round shaping suggests an aim for modern, functional clarity with a distinctive blocky character.
At display sizes the squared counters and tight apertures become a distinctive signature, while in smaller settings the dense interior spacing can read more solid and forceful than airy. Numerals match the same compact, block-built structure and maintain strong presence alongside uppercase text.
