Sans Superellipse Himeb 13 is a very bold, narrow, monoline, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Festivo Letters' by Ahmet Altun, 'Corner Deli' and 'Perfume' by Fenotype, and 'Backfarm' by Koplexs Studio (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with straight-sided construction and consistently rounded corners that give curves a squared-off, superellipse feel. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing dense counters and a strong vertical rhythm, while terminals tend to be flat and decisively cut. Round letters like O/C/G read as rounded rectangles, and the overall spacing and proportions emphasize tight, tall forms suited to stacking and bold lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding where compact width and high ink coverage are advantages. It also fits signage, labels, and interface callouts that need an industrial, condensed voice and clear presence in limited horizontal space.
The font conveys a tough, no-nonsense tone—confident and workmanlike—with a subtle retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of signage and equipment labeling. Its condensed heft feels urgent and emphatic, making text look authoritative and engineered rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact per line: a space-efficient, highly legible display sans built from squared curves and uniform weight to create a cohesive, engineered texture. The rounded-corner geometry softens the mass slightly while preserving a strong, functional silhouette.
Distinctive squared curves and compact apertures keep letters visually locked together, which increases impact at display sizes but can make internal spaces feel tight in longer passages. Numerals are similarly sturdy and geometric, matching the letterforms’ blocky rhythm for consistent headline and UI labeling use.
