Sans Superellipse Hukab 9 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'AG Book W1G' by Berthold, 'Newhouse DT' by DTP Types, 'Etrusco Now' by Italiantype, 'Britva' by Juraj Chrastina, and 'Corpus Gothic' by T-26 (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with tightly set proportions and a uniform, monoline feel. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls, while joins and terminals stay blunt and squared-off, creating a sturdy, engineered silhouette. Counters are relatively small for the weight, apertures are restrained, and the overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with minimal modulation and crisp, consistent stroke endings across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
This font is best suited to large-size display work where impact and space efficiency matter: headlines, posters, editorial banners, retail and wayfinding signage, packaging fronts, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation items when a strong, condensed voice is needed, but it is visually dense for long-form reading.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a poster-like punch that reads as contemporary, industrial, and no-nonsense. Its condensed footprint and blocky softness (rounded corners without delicacy) give it a confident, pragmatic voice suited to bold messaging rather than subtle texture.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in a compact width, combining blunt terminals with rounded-rectangle curves for a modern, industrial character. It prioritizes strong, even texture and clear silhouette over open counters or refined detail, making it effective for attention-grabbing typographic statements.
Lowercase forms remain simple and compact, keeping bowls and shoulders tight; the dot on i/j is square, reinforcing the squared construction. Numerals match the same robust geometry and compressed spacing, maintaining consistent color and presence in mixed text.
