Sans Superellipse Hamup 1 is a bold, wide, low contrast, upright, normal x-height font visually similar to 'Olney' by Philatype, 'Celdum' and 'Metral' by The Northern Block, and 'Crepes' and 'Geon' by cretype (names referenced only for comparison).

A heavy, monoline sans with squared-round construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle and superellipse-like forms rather than true circles. Strokes are uniform and robust, with clean terminals and generous corner radii that keep the shapes soft despite the blocky geometry. Counters tend toward rectangular apertures with rounded corners, and many glyphs (notably O/0 and C/G) feel built from straight segments joined by smooth arcs, producing a steady, engineered rhythm. Proportions read as broad and stable, with clear, simple joins and minimal modulation throughout.
Well-suited to UI and product contexts where sturdy letterforms and clear counters matter, especially for buttons, navigation, and dashboards. Its strong presence also works for contemporary branding, short headlines, labels, and wayfinding-style signage where a modern, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone is contemporary and tech-forward, combining a utilitarian, industrial clarity with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It feels assertive and functional, like interface typography for products and systems, while still approachable due to its smoothed geometry.
The design appears intended to blend geometric, rounded-rectangle construction with practical legibility, offering a modern sans that feels systematic and durable. It aims to deliver a distinctive ‘squared-round’ silhouette that reads cleanly in both display lines and functional text settings.
Uppercase forms appear particularly architectural and uniform, while the lowercase introduces more conventional text structures (e.g., single-storey a, open-shouldered r) that help maintain readability at paragraph scale. Numerals and punctuation match the same squared-round logic, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like character.
