Sans Superellipse Hinir 13 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Fritz Display' by Designova, 'Fairweather' by Dharma Type, 'Early Edition JNL' by Jeff Levine, and 'Angostura' by Typodermic (names referenced only for comparison).

A compact, heavy sans with tightly packed proportions and a clear, monoline construction. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than true circularity. Terminals are generally flat and blunt, with occasional subtle shaping in letters like J and the lowercases that adds momentum without introducing contrast. The overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with short apertures and counters that stay open enough to hold up at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where a dense, bold wordshape is an advantage. It also fits packaging and signage that need strong presence in limited space, and can work for short emphatic subheads or callouts when set with adequate tracking.
The typeface projects a forceful, no-nonsense tone with an industrial crispness and a slightly retro, poster-like presence. Its rounded-rectangle curves soften the impact just enough to feel approachable, while the condensed stance keeps it energetic and efficient.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility within a compressed footprint, using rounded-rectangle forms to create a distinctive, cohesive voice across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Uppercase forms read particularly architectural, with squared bowls and straight-sided stems; lowercase retains the same geometry and weight, producing a unified, blocky texture in text. Numerals follow the same compact, heavy construction, suited to attention-grabbing set pieces rather than delicate typographic nuance.
