Sans Superellipse Hadol 4 is a bold, normal width, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Bunken Tech Sans' by Buntype, 'Digital Sans Now' by Elsner+Flake, 'Mercurial' and 'Tradesman' by Grype, and 'Obvia Wide' by Typefolio (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans built from squarish, rounded-rectangle forms with consistent stroke weight and crisp, squared terminals. Curves are largely “superellipse” in character—more rectangular than circular—producing flat-sided bowls and counters in letters like O, D, and P. Corners are softened but not gushy, and joins stay firm, giving the design a sturdy, engineered rhythm. The lowercase is compact and orderly, with single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a squared-off, utilitarian feel across the set; numerals follow the same rounded-rect geometry, with angular diagonals on 2, 4, and 7 and stacked, boxy loops on 8.
Best suited to display-oriented work where its squarish rounded geometry can read clearly and set a strong tone—headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks. It also fits UI labels, dashboards, and wayfinding-style signage where an engineered, system-like voice is desirable.
The overall tone is modern and technical, with a slightly retro-digital flavor reminiscent of hardware labeling, sci‑fi interfaces, and industrial signage. Its rounded corners keep it approachable, while the squared geometry maintains a controlled, machine-made confidence.
This design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a practical sans that feels both futuristic and functional. By prioritizing consistent stroke weight, softened corners, and compact, modular letterforms, it aims for a clean, device-like presence that holds up in bold, attention-driven settings.
Wide radii and flat-sided curves create strong silhouettes at large sizes, and the tight, modular shapes give text a consistent, gridlike texture. The design’s distinctive squircle bowls and squared terminals make it visually assertive even in short words and headings.
