Sans Superellipse Otros 4 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Manufaktur' by Great Scott, 'Monorama' by Indian Type Foundry, 'Stallman' and 'Stallman Round' by Par Défaut, 'Getafe' by Trequartista Studio, and 'Hurdle' by Umka Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, compact sans built from squared, rounded-rectangle forms with consistent stroke weight and minimal contrast. Counters tend to be rectangular or superelliptical, creating a modular, engineered feel, while corners are softened rather than sharply chamfered. The lowercase shows a large x-height with short extenders, and the overall set reads tightly spaced and space-efficient. Numerals and capitals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, emphasizing solid silhouettes and clear, bold interior apertures.
Best suited for display settings where impact and compactness matter—headlines, posters, logos, labels, and bold packaging. It also fits UI or on-screen titling when a strong, techno-industrial voice is desired and sizes are large enough to preserve the squared counters.
The design projects a confident, mechanical tone with a clear nod to retro display lettering and contemporary tech aesthetics. Its dense shapes and squared curves feel utilitarian and tough, giving headlines a stamped, hardware-like presence.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch through dense, rounded-rect geometry and uniform stroke weight, prioritizing a strong silhouette and a cohesive modular rhythm. Its proportions and simplified construction suggest an intention to feel contemporary and engineered while retaining a retro display sensibility.
Round letters like O and Q appear more like rounded rectangles, and the bowls in letters such as B, P, and R keep a boxy interior rhythm. Diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are simplified and sturdy, reinforcing the font’s engineered consistency and strong silhouette at large sizes.
