Sans Superellipse Higik 1 is a very bold, very narrow, monoline, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy display sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry. Strokes keep a consistent thickness while terminals are blunt and squared-off, producing a dense, blocky color on the page. Curves are pulled into superelliptical bowls with narrow internal counters, and many joins read as crisp, vertical constructions rather than calligraphic transitions. Lowercase forms are tall and sturdy with short extenders, and the numerals follow the same squared, compressed logic for a uniform, label-like rhythm.
Best suited to large sizes where its dense shapes and compressed rhythm can deliver impact—headlines, posters, bold labels, packaging, and punchy signage. It can also work for short UI badges or category tags when you want a strong, compact word shape, but it will feel heavy for long-form reading.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with an industrial, scoreboard-like presence. Its compressed proportions and dense weight feel energetic and attention-seeking, leaning toward sporty and utilitarian rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle forms and uniform stroke weight to create a cohesive, high-density display voice.
Spacing appears tight and the narrow apertures/counters increase the solid “ink” footprint, making text feel compact and emphatic. The ampersand and punctuation adopt the same simplified, squared construction, keeping the character set visually consistent in display settings.
