Sans Superellipse Hakis 12 is a bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Aguda' and 'Aguda Stencil' by Graviton, 'Phatthana' by Jipatype, 'Evanston Alehouse' and 'Evanston Tavern' by Kimmy Design, 'Frio' by Lamatas un Slazdi, and 'Gemsbuck Pro' by Studio Fat Cat (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact geometric sans with squared-round construction: curves resolve into rounded rectangles and superellipse-like bowls, with consistently softened corners. Strokes are monoline and heavy, producing sturdy silhouettes and tight internal counters. Terminals are generally flat and squared, with occasional angled cuts on diagonals (notably in forms like A, K, V, W, X, Y), giving a crisp, engineered rhythm. Letterforms lean toward wide, stable proportions with minimal modulation, and the lowercase follows the same squared-round logic for bowls and apertures.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short display copy where the squared-round geometry can read clearly and create a strong visual identity. It also works well for UI labels, dashboards, and signage that benefit from sturdy, high-contrast-free letterforms and consistent stroke weight at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels technical and hardware-oriented—confident, efficient, and slightly futuristic. Its rounded-square geometry reads contemporary and industrial rather than friendly or calligraphic, suggesting interfaces, equipment markings, and performance branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, engineered sans with a distinctive rounded-rectangle skeleton—prioritizing solidity, consistency, and a tech-forward presence while keeping forms simple and highly repeatable across letters and numerals.
Round letters like O and Q appear as squarish ovals with generous corner rounding, while C, G, and S maintain a controlled, boxy curvature that keeps the texture even in all-caps settings. Numerals share the same squared-round vocabulary (especially 0, 6, 8, 9), supporting a cohesive alphanumeric system. In paragraph samples, the heavy weight and compact counters emphasize impact over delicate detail.
