Sans Superellipse Noma 7 is a very bold, very wide, medium contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Midnight Sans' by Colophon Foundry, 'Cy Grotesk' and 'Cy Grotesk Std' by Kobuzan, 'Europa Grotesk SH' by Scangraphic Digital Type Collection, and 'Nuber Next' by The Northern Block (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and a distinctly soft, squared-off (superelliptical) construction. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and generously rounded outer corners that keep the overall silhouette smooth. Counters are relatively compact for the weight, producing sturdy, blocky letterforms that remain clear at display sizes. Terminals are blunt and clean, and curved letters like C, S, and G emphasize wide, cushioned arcs rather than sharp geometry.
Best suited for high-impact display work such as headlines, posters, packaging, and logo wordmarks where its thick, rounded shapes can carry presence. It also works well for signage and short UI/label text when a friendly, robust voice is needed, especially at larger sizes where the compact counters stay open enough to read.
The font projects a friendly, upbeat personality with a toy-like, cushioned heft. Its wide, rounded shapes feel approachable and contemporary while also nodding to retro signage and bold packaging aesthetics. The overall tone is confident and attention-grabbing without feeling aggressive.
The design appears intended as a bold, approachable display sans built around superelliptical geometry, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a soft, modern feel. Its consistent rounding and sturdy proportions suggest it was drawn to deliver immediate impact in branding and promotional typography while keeping an inviting tone.
Round characters (O, Q, 0, 8, 9) appear slightly squarish due to the rounded-rectangle logic, giving the design a consistent, engineered softness. The lowercase forms maintain the same chunky rhythm, and the numerals share the same broad, rounded stance for cohesive headline setting.
