Sans Superellipse Umpu 1 is a bold, wide, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Memory Square' by Beware of the moose and 'HK Modular' by Hanken Design Co. (names referenced only for comparison).

A geometric sans built from squared-off, rounded-rectangle forms with consistent stroke thickness and softened corners. Curves tend to resolve into straight segments, producing boxy bowls and counters (notably in O/0 and D) and giving diagonals a clean, engineered feel (K, V, W, X). Apertures are generally tight and the overall silhouette is compact, with short joins and flat terminals that reinforce a constructed, modular rhythm. Numerals match the caps’ blocky geometry, with a slashed zero and similarly squared, rounded forms throughout.
Best suited to display roles where its boxy, rounded geometry can carry a strong identity—headlines, logos, posters, packaging, and short signage or labels. It can work well for tech branding, game or sci‑fi themed UI graphics, and product marks where a compact, constructed look is desirable.
The overall tone is crisp and synthetic, with a distinctly futuristic, game-UI flavor. Its squared geometry and tight internal spaces read as purposeful and technical, suggesting machinery, circuitry, and sci‑fi interface labeling rather than humanist warmth.
Likely intended to deliver a cohesive, futuristic geometric voice by reducing letterforms to rounded rectangles and straight segments. The goal appears to be high visual impact and immediate recognizability through a consistent modular system rather than calligraphic nuance.
The design relies on repeated rounded-corner rectangles, creating strong consistency across the set and a slightly “stenciled/slot” impression in some interiors (e.g., B, 8, m). The lowercase follows the same engineered logic as the uppercase, favoring simplified, single-storey constructions and minimal modulation.
