Sans Superellipse Hikif 4 is a very bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Hudson NY Pro' by Arkitype, 'Gotham' by Hoefler & Co., 'Neusa Neu' by Inhouse Type, and 'Forgotten Futurist' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, geometric sans with squared-off curves and generously rounded corners, giving many letters a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle skeleton. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and counters are compact, producing dense, high-ink shapes. Curves on C, G, O, and Q read as softened boxes rather than pure circles, while terminals are blunt and clean. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy with a tall x-height feel; the a is single-storey, the g is single-storey with a short ear, and the overall spacing and rhythm favor strong silhouettes over delicate interior detail. Numerals match the same blocky geometry, staying wide, stable, and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short-form statements where its dense weight and rounded-square shapes can carry impact. It also fits branding, packaging, and signage applications that need a sturdy, contemporary sans with a slightly softened, approachable edge.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a modern, engineered feel. Its rounded-square geometry keeps it friendly enough for consumer-facing work, but the weight and compact counters push it toward a tough, punchy voice that feels at home in sports and industrial branding.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a controlled, geometric system: thick strokes, compact counters, and rounded-square curves that stay consistent across the set. The intention reads as a contemporary display sans that balances rugged presence with smooth, friendly cornering.
The design relies on consistent corner radii and flattened curves, which creates a cohesive, logo-ready texture in all-caps settings. The most distinctive character comes from the rounded-rectangle O/Q and the squared curve treatment throughout, which reads particularly strong in short words and headlines.
