Sans Superellipse Hukuh 9 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'KT Higer' by Kotivoro Lab, 'Seriguela' by Latinotype, and 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tightly contained counters. Strokes are broadly uniform, with corners softened into superellipse-like rounding that keeps the shapes from feeling sharp despite the mass. Several letters show angular cut-ins and notched joins (notably in diagonals and bowls), creating a faint stencil/ink-trap impression and adding texture to the rhythm. The lowercase maintains a sturdy, upright build with short extenders and simple, blocky terminals; numerals follow the same condensed, weighty construction with rounded rectangles and minimal internal space.
Best suited to bold headlines, poster typography, short callouts, packaging fronts, and signage where compact width and strong dark color are assets. It can also work for logo wordmarks and sports/club-style identity systems that benefit from condensed, blocky letterforms.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a compressed, high-pressure presence that reads as modern industrial. The rounded-rectangle geometry adds a friendly softness, but the notches and dense color keep it feeling tough, direct, and attention-grabbing. It suggests signage, sports, or hardware branding more than editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining rounded-rectangle construction with deliberate cut-ins to keep shapes distinct and add visual bite. It prioritizes bold presence and graphic consistency over open counters and text-density comfort.
Because the counters are small and the interior apertures can close up quickly, the design favors larger sizes and generous tracking when clarity is critical. The distinctive notching gives headlines extra character, but it can become visually busy in long passages at small sizes.
