Sans Superellipse Orkom 4 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'Korolev' and 'Korolev Rounded' by Device, 'Pilcrow' and 'Pilcrow Soft' by Indian Type Foundry, and 'Amsi Grotesk' by Stawix (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with softly squared (superellipse-like) curves and largely uniform stroke weight. Counters are open and generous for the weight, with rounded terminals and smoothly joined curves that keep shapes crisp rather than soft. Proportions feel sturdy and slightly condensed in some letters, with a tall x-height and short ascenders/descenders that create a compact vertical rhythm. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g) and simple, straight-sided stems; numerals are similarly robust with clear, contemporary shapes.
Works well for UI labels, navigation, and product surfaces where bold, compact letterforms need to stay clear at smaller sizes. Its dense texture and sturdy shapes also suit headlines, posters, and packaging that benefit from a confident, contemporary voice.
The overall tone is modern and approachable, pairing a friendly roundness with assertive mass. It reads as practical and straightforward, suited to interfaces and contemporary branding where clarity and confidence matter. The squared rounding adds a subtle tech/industrial flavor without feeling cold.
The design appears intended to deliver high legibility and a strong typographic presence while maintaining a friendly, contemporary feel through superellipse-based rounding. It prioritizes clean geometry, consistent rhythm, and simple, readable forms for modern digital and brand applications.
Round forms like O/Q and bowls in B/P/R lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) stay sharp and stable. Spacing in the samples appears even and text color is strong, producing a dense, high-impact paragraph texture.
