Sans Superellipse Hilim 14 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Festivo Clean', 'Festivo LC', and 'Festivo Letters' by Ahmet Altun; 'Bebas Neue Pro' by Dharma Type; and 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with squared-round construction: curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and rounded-rectangle counters, giving letters a sturdy, engineered feel. Strokes remain even and monolinear, with tight internal spaces and generally closed apertures that increase density in text. Terminals are clean and blunt, with minimal modulation and a consistent, vertical rhythm; diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are straight and strong, while round characters (O/Q/0) read as tall, rounded rectangles. Lowercase forms are simple and utilitarian, with short ascenders/descenders and compact counters that prioritize solidity over openness.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and display typography where its dense weight and compact width create strong emphasis. It also fits branding, packaging, and signage that need a bold, efficient wordmark-like presence, especially in space-constrained layouts.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, projecting a pragmatic, industrial confidence. Its condensed, tightly packed shapes feel efficient and space-saving, leaning toward a contemporary, utilitarian voice rather than friendly or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact per horizontal space, combining condensed proportions with rounded-rectilinear geometry for a robust, modern look. Its consistent stroke weight and simplified forms emphasize clarity and uniform texture in display use.
At smaller sizes the tight counters and closed apertures may reduce differentiation in dense settings, while at larger sizes the geometric rounding and uniform stroke weight create a bold, poster-ready texture. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, keeping a consistent, compact color across alphanumerics.
