Sans Superellipse Wahu 1 is a very bold, very wide, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Gremlin' by Hazztype, 'Eurostile Unicase' by Linotype, '946 Latin' by Roman Type, and 'Radiate Sans' by Studio Sun (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, squared sans built from superelliptic curves and rounded corners, with broad proportions and a compact, tightly controlled rhythm. Curves resolve into soft rectangles (not circles), and counters tend toward rounded boxes, giving the design a machined, modular consistency. Joins and terminals are mostly blunt and horizontal/vertical, with occasional angled cuts in diagonals; the result is crisp and geometric with minimal stroke modulation and a strong, blocky silhouette.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, esports or automotive-style branding, and any situation that benefits from a strong, techno-geometric voice. It can work well in logos and wordmarks where a compact, modular look is desired, and in UI or on-screen graphics for short labels and feature callouts. For extended reading, its heavy mass and tight internal shapes will likely be more effective in short bursts than in long passages.
This typeface projects a confident, high-impact tone with a distinctly technical, engineered feel. Its rounded-rectangle construction reads modern and utilitarian, leaning toward sporty and sci‑fi associations while still staying clean and approachable. Overall it feels assertive and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence and legibility at large sizes through broad forms, simplified geometry, and sturdy counters. Its rounded-square construction suggests a goal of feeling contemporary and engineered—clean enough for modern interfaces while distinctive enough for branding and headline work.
Many characters emphasize horizontal bands and squared counters (notably in rounded letters and numerals), creating a cohesive “rounded block” motif. The lowercase is built with similarly robust forms and a high visual footprint, keeping mixed-case settings dense and uniform.
