Sans Superellipse Pigor 4 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Larrikin' by HeadFirst, 'Gotham' by Hoefler & Co., 'JAF Bernini Sans' by Just Another Foundry, and 'Noison' by Lone Army (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with compact proportions and a tall lowercase structure. Strokes are largely uniform, with rounded-rectangle and superellipse curves showing up in bowls and counters, and corners that read more softened than sharp. Many joins and terminals show small notches and stepped cut-ins, creating an ink-trap-like, punch-cut texture that keeps the dense shapes from clogging. Overall spacing is tight and vertical, producing a strong, stacked rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, and packaging fronts where compact width is valuable. It can also work for branding marks or labels that need a strong condensed silhouette and a slightly gritty, mechanical texture.
The tone is bold and poster-ready, with a slightly rugged, utilitarian edge. Its condensed heft and cut-in detailing give it a retro-industrial flavor that feels at home in signage and attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while preserving interior clarity through deliberate cut-ins at tight joins. Its rounded-rectangle construction and uniform stroke weight aim for a sturdy, modern blockiness with a distinct display character.
The uppercase and numerals feel especially rigid and architectural, while the lowercase adds a bit more roundness and flow. The distinctive nicks at joins and terminals become more apparent at larger sizes, contributing to a stamped or carved impression.
