Sans Superellipse Hidaf 4 is a very bold, normal width, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Informatic' by Fatchair, 'PF DIN Text' by Parachute, 'Aksioma' by Zafara Studios, and 'Artico' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with compact proportions and a strong, even color on the page. Curves are built from squared-off, superellipse-like geometry: round counters sit inside softly rectangular outer shapes, and terminals are blunt rather than tapered. Letterforms are wide and stable with minimal stroke modulation, producing thick joins and generous interior counters for the weight. Numerals and capitals read as solid blocks, while lowercase maintains simple, single-storey forms where expected, keeping the overall texture consistent and punchy.
Best suited to display work where impact and clarity are needed: headlines, posters, product packaging, signage, and bold brand statements. It can work for short UI labels or callouts when you want a friendly, high-visibility tone, but the dense weight is most effective in larger sizes and shorter runs of text.
The tone is bold and approachable, balancing a contemporary geometric feel with soft corners that keep it from becoming aggressive. It comes across as upbeat and confident—more friendly headline voice than formal corporate neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a softened geometric voice: thick, compact shapes for authority and readability, paired with rounded corners to feel contemporary and approachable.
The rounded-rectangle construction gives the font a distinctly “cushioned” silhouette, especially visible in C/G/O/Q and the bowls of b/d/p/q. Spacing appears moderately tight for the weight, helping it form a dense, poster-like rhythm in text while remaining legible at large sizes.
