Sans Superellipse Pimag 1 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Quiel' by Ardyanatypes, 'Rama Gothic' by Dharma Type, 'Mongoose' by Kostic, 'Brecksville' by OzType., and 'Kurdis' by That That Creative (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, vertically stressed sans with tall proportions and dense spacing. Strokes are heavy and largely uniform, with a squared, superelliptical construction that rounds corners without becoming soft. Counters are tight and apertures are relatively closed, giving letters a solid, blocky presence. Curves read as rounded rectangles, while joins stay crisp; diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are sharply cut and maintain the same muscular weight. Overall rhythm is consistent and column-like, optimized for strong silhouette rather than airy readability.
Best suited to display work where density and impact are priorities: posters, bold headlines, sports or event graphics, signage, packaging, and logotypes. It can also work for short bursts of text (subheads, labels, UI badges) when a compact, high-contrast-in-scale texture is desired, but it is less suited to long reading at small sizes due to tight counters and heavy strokes.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial, poster-forward voice. Its narrow, towering stance feels urgent and space-efficient, suggesting headlines, signage, and high-impact labeling. The rounded-rect geometry keeps it contemporary and engineered rather than retro or ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using a superelliptical, rounded-rect skeleton for a modern, engineered feel. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, consistent stroke weight, and a tall, condensed rhythm that holds up well in large, attention-grabbing settings.
The numerals match the condensed, heavy construction and keep counters minimal, supporting tight set widths in large sizes. Lowercase forms appear simplified and sturdy, with short extenders and a strong vertical emphasis that reinforces the font’s compact texture in paragraphs or stacked lines.
