Sans Superellipse Hulah 5 is a very bold, narrow, low contrast, upright, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Boldine' by Fateh.Lab, 'Sharp Grotesk Latin' and 'Sharp Grotesk Paneuropean' by Monotype, and 'Beni' by Nois (names referenced only for comparison).

A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly squared counters. Strokes are thick and uniform, with softened corners and a compact, vertical rhythm that keeps the texture dense in lines of text. Curves tend to resolve into superelliptical shapes (notably in C, O, and 0), while joins and terminals stay blunt and sturdy. Numerals match the letterforms’ squat, blocky geometry, with simple, high-impact silhouettes that remain clear at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, labels, and bold callouts where density and presence are beneficial. It also fits branding systems that need a tough, compact sans for logos, apparel graphics, and large-format signage.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, projecting strength and urgency. Its compressed width and chunky forms give it a sporty, workwear-adjacent feel that reads as confident and attention-seeking rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact within limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep the forms approachable while still feeling strong and industrial. The consistent weight and compact rhythm suggest a focus on headline performance and brand-forward messaging.
In paragraph-like settings the tight proportions create a dark, compact typographic color; generous tracking and leading will help prevent the forms from visually clumping. The lowercase shows minimal modulation and simple, robust shapes that prioritize impact over nuance.
