Sans Superellipse Pimum 6 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Muller Next' by Fontfabric, 'Ikigai' by Monotype, 'PG Gothique' and 'PG Grotesque' by Paulo Goode, and 'TT Bluescreens' by TypeType (names referenced only for comparison).

This is a condensed, heavy sans with compact proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Letterforms are built from simple, sturdy strokes with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves, giving counters and bowls a softly squared feel rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with minimal modulation, and joins stay tight to preserve density. Lowercase is large relative to capitals, with short ascenders/descenders and compact apertures, creating a dark, continuous texture in text. Numerals follow the same narrow, chunky construction for a consistent, poster-ready palette.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and bold brand marks where space is limited but presence is required. It can work for subheads or callouts in editorial layouts, but its dense texture makes it less ideal for extended body copy.
The overall tone is loud, direct, and workmanlike—designed to command attention quickly. Its compressed stance and hefty weight evoke headline typography seen in posters, packaging, and utilitarian signage, with a slightly retro, industrial flavor.
The design intention appears to prioritize maximum visual impact and space efficiency through condensed widths, large lowercase proportions, and simplified, rounded-rect forms. It aims for a consistent, muscular texture that stays legible and recognizable in bold display applications.
At display sizes the rounded-rect geometry reads clearly, while in longer lines the tight spacing and narrow apertures can create a dense, emphatic color. The bold punctuation and dot shapes match the same compact, sturdy construction, reinforcing the font’s punchy rhythm.
